Whistler Forum • Whistler hotel with GOOD SAFE bike security?

Tue, 23 May 2017 21:52:56 +0000

haven't heard of much theft activity (of note) for a few years now. some hotel lock-ups are definitely less secure than others (ie, chain-link cages in parkades with access via key codes), but i always bring a decent lock regardless of the facility, and have never had an issue. guess i'm relatively blase, as a consequence.

it would be a death push up a mtb trail.... not sure if there is a FSR

On satelite image you can see a logging road up to a cutblock about halfway the trail. The rest would be pushing up the trail. No idea whether it's worth it.

In a previous life when I lived in Europe and there weren't good online sources for trail info, we looked at paper topo maps, picked some interesting looking dotted lines and set out. Often ending up pushing for hours. Sometimes it paid off and we found an epic descent, other times it was bushwacking back down as well, lol. This is how people like Ash Smith (or Trans Provence fame) find new trails for their events.

I sometimes miss that exploratory element but here in Canada we lack that history the Alps have of centuries of migration, smuggling, wars, etc. that left behind countless trails. Definitely less romantic to know a trail was built for helidrops for wealthy mountain bikers than some old story about locals smuggling contraband across a mountain pass in WW1.

Had the pleasure of riding whistler for the first time in a couple of years. Went up comfortably numb to happy days then over and kill me thrill me. What fun! I have to say, no one builds a trail like whistler. Thank you to the trailbuilders who don't dumb everything down. Gotta say, some of the rock rolls seem a little more difficult than black but thats whistler for you. My wife who doesn't love rock rolls was happy to walk the couple that didn't sit right with her given how much fun she had on everything else. And I got to ride some of the rock rolls twice!

Thu, 25 Jul 2019 05:03:15 +0000

I’m glad that I’m not imagining things. I’ve compared recent YouTube vid of Goats to 1 year old and the rocks on the corner have changed! The net result is that riders have a tighter corner as the rocks at the top of that pitch and in the middle of the trail are sticking up, meaning you need to be done your turn before you hit the vertical rock garden. I knew something was different.

With the new Blackcomb gondola I am hopeful they will add more bike carrying cars on the Whistler Village gondola to ease line-ups a bit.

Whistler Forum • Is the weight of a downhill bike an issue when riding WB?

Tue, 14 Aug 2018 04:09:46 +0000

I had a Giant Glory that weighed close to 45lbs thanks to 888 coil fork + Marz coil shock, old Mavic 729 disc rims etc. When I got my Aurum (weight 35lbs with pedals) I found it slightly easier to clear jumps but maybe it was just easier to carry speed on a better bike/650b wheels? It wasn't night and day but it was noticeable. Tech trails was a bigger difference but that's because the bike was so much better in every way = go faster... my gut feeling is 5lbs or even 10lbs on a DH bike probably doesn't make much of a difference jumping unless you weigh like 120lbs.

39lbs is probably average for a DH bike as well. Rare to see one much under 35lbs unless it's running lighter tires.

Love this guy's enthusiasm. (He has a number of good vids on youtube) Looks like he's getting coached thru a number of sections that I'd like to do one day. It's way better to follow someone thru & see it done. edit; Too early for a 2018 version of WBP?

He's put out some new videos the last few weeks on various tech trails showing alternate lines and other stuff. High production value and fun to watch. If you want coaching check out WBP's Elevation Camps - cheap and good value, just ask to be in the highest level group if you want to do the double blacks. Or you can go with Zep for 1 on 1 or Trek.

Whistler Forum • Bye Giant.

Tue, 25 Oct 2016 23:43:31 +0000

GT is Dorel group?

Not a small gig either. They try hard, but don't seem to pull a lot of sausage in my area (central Europe).

Regarding numbers:
If you go to the French Alps there are now hundreds of bike resorts. Portes du Soleil alone has 60+ chairlifts running all summer long. I visited at least fifteen tourist towns in Austria, Switzerland and France during the last two years which are really, really buzzing.

I don't know absolute numbers, but I'd guess it's a bigger market already here than Canada. Traditional ski resorts and areas highly dependent on tourism are now realizing global warming does already result in lack of snow and even too high of temperatures for their artificial snow cannons. They hastily let their ski-resort workers machine build trails - which of course become erosion nightmares because of ski steep terrain in no time. Then they wonder why beginners, families and elderly riders don't come back after their premier visit.

So - quantity yeah, quality not yet. Or at least only in select places. You got us beat there.
Building sweet backcountry trails is harder, because every single piece of land is or has been claimed for some kind of use already.

It's getting better though. And there's loads of money and lobbyism in tourism.

DH bike brands:

Specialized Demo, Canyon Torque, YT Tues and maybe Glorys are really common. There's loads of them. V10s are surprisingly popular, too $$$

Rode totw today to Kyber to middle of nowhere /kashmire to kush to BC trail.

Id advise to not ride when its this wet it was super slick and off camber but more than that you couldnt keep any speed so it made all the traversing and mild climbing seem like a real slog . Sick trails i bet in the dry for sure . Lower kush had some pretty rowdy steep muddy shoots with slick roots everywhere it was a handful today lol.

Sounds like I made the right decision to pass it up today - thanks again for everyone's input.

Rode the park instead - hero dirt, grippy trails, but the lines were long. Busiest day I've been up for this year.

Fri, 26 Jun 2015 04:09:32 +0000

In the heat, I say it's worth buying the alpine lift pass, but go up Backcomb instead of sitting in the Whistler Sauna-dola to the top. Take the bus down to 7th and ride up 7th and watch the action on the Glacier . Then highyl recommend the Overlord/Decker loop hiking trail as the prettiest on the mountain. Good chance of seeing Marmot's and the tarn at the end of the loop is refreshing to cool the feet.

We have been given the ok to run the event without citizen classes while still offering 1 day race licensing. You can choose the category appropriate for you age or race in Elite if you wish. However, you will have to pay the 1 day license fee of $5 (for U16) or $10 (for 16+) or $12 (for out of country). this you can do at registration/plate pick up. When you are registering for the race online just put 000 as your Cycling BC license #. Hope that helps.

Wed, 04 Mar 2015 17:08:46 +0000

Hello everyone, I'm new Forum Member! :)
I'm an italian biker, 19 years old. :italy:
Next summer I'm finishing the high school and then I'd like to visit Whistler and ride in the bike park.
I'am looking for the best way to stay in Whistler maybe in local rider home. I wish I could ride with a local rider and share the normal Whistler life.
I offer the same opportunity in Italy at my house, to ride in the best bike parks (Val di Sole, Pila, Garda lake and many many tracks! And even Leogang (AUT), Schladming (AUT)). I go riding very often, practically every weekend.
So, my key objective is looking for an athlete who takes me around the trails of Whistler and makes me go all kinds, not just those of the Bike Park. Almost an expert of the area!
Would be perfect if he could does a "cultural" exchange with me.
I'd like to ask you a help to organize my project of cultural exchange. Can you give some info and some names?
Thank you for your attention,
(sorry for my inaccurate English)
I wait for your prompt replay. :)
Bye,
Riccardo

Whistler Forum • Kids phat Wednesday race series?

Fri, 16 May 2014 23:30:49 +0000

Well, that's $5 well spent. The boy loved getting the number plate, "training" the run over the morning, then riding a closed course without dad in front or behind. All of this, and he won a Dakine jersey as a draw prize. :rocker:

Sadly, we will never know his result, which was the only disappointment for him. There was a timing glitch for some of the racers (heard there was a generator issue at the bottom) for some kids, and then other kids ate up their gap pretty quickly and caught the rider in front and could not pass (my son caught the rider in front and trailed her through Samurai Pizza Cat to the finish). They fixed this later, but that may have messed up the timing??? Oh well… he got over it with the jersey and Powerade.

I timed him on two training runs and if he did the same, he'd have likely been 4th or 5th in the 9/10 year old category… so he'd have been happy with that for his first race behind kids like Jackson. He had a totally clean race run until he caught up to the prior rider.

Will definitely try to do more of the series next year. HOpefully with the bugs worked out. Great the WB is supporting kids' racing.

Tue, 12 Aug 2014 15:13:54 +0000

Thanks for the tips, guys…. the conditions were actually perfect on the 13th (when it rained) and not so much the following day (dry, dusty).

And so I also came to realize, that even with two days (I orginally planned for one), I did not have enough time. The two trails I was so looking forward to hit (Dirt Merchant and A-line) had jumps that were way too big for me to hit cold (I usually work up to it). So I rolled them once and never came back (and even then, I only managed to cover maybe a third of all the intermediate to advanced trails).

Really enjoyed Blue Velvet and Crank-it-Up as well as Upper Freight Train, along with most of the single blacks and a few double-black runs. Goat's Gully was an ass-kicker, and so was Lower Canadian.

Thanks again! Hope to be back soon… and with better skills (again, hopefully).

If its any consolation, in 15 years of operation, there have only been 2 fatalities at the bike park. One was around 2001 (I believe a rider went down and was hit by another rider and died later in hospital of a punctured lung and internal injuries). The other was only this summer. It seems that both were under somewhat exceptional/unusual circumstances.

You must have seen the reply he posted an hour before you posted (now deleted) - made the place sound like the best place ever.

From what I can see, it's an open parking lot with RVs packed in like sardines, and charging $55.00 a night. The shuttle into Whistler sounds appealing, but also limiting. I'd rather just drive my truck.

I'll probably drive up there next time I'm in the area - maybe it's better in person.

Whistler Forum • Village Condo Owners

Thu, 06 Jun 2013 20:22:11 +0000

You make a good point about condos and cabins. I know a lot of people who had cabins around Christina lake, or Pender Island and they were fun. Pender Island doesn't have what Whistler has to offer, of course. But it's a nice place to have a cabin, for less than the cost of Whistler, and 1/4 of the yearly costs. Good luck on making any money on rentals, although the lower costs make it more viable for a family vacation spot.

I've always had a dream of a dozen acres in the Nicola region. We've gone atv'ing and shooting around Merritt the last few years, and it's a really nice place to visit. Close to Kelowna, close to the lower mainland, great highway, and a metric ass ton of outdoor activities at your back door.

I love how most cul de sac's in Merritt end with this.

It's been a long time since I've done any whistler 'XC' but I always used to enjoy going up Ricks Roost and then down Cat Scratch Fever / Mandatory Suicide and on down. No idea how those trails are these days, and I can't even see them on a couple of on-line maps I've just looked at. It was one of the shorter laps, but could be made longer with adding River Runs Through it if that sort of riding floats your boat.

just did rick roost up to cat scratch down to man suicide then looped back home on Mel's, I live near the top of alpine way so pretty fun backyard loop, all those trails are still here ha ha

try finding a used specialized pitch. with a light one and a bombproof wheelset you could ride most of the trails in the park and the valley by just changing the wheels. the frame itself is nearly indestructable and could be build up in the 12-15kg range.

Whistler doesn't need to offer Fort McMurray-level wages because there are people willing to take a pay cut to work there. Until reality sets in at for some time for most. I'd be happy to live and work in Whistler at my current standard of living, but I know that is pretty much impossible.

Thu, 27 Sep 2012 01:53:49 +0000

Both REM Communications and Base Wireless offer annual broadband service that ride off of both Shaw and Telus fibre. This is roaming internet and VOIP across Whistler, so the advantage is you can connect pretty much anywhere in Whistler under your account. Perhaps slighlty slower than the best Telus service, but the mobility factor is great.

So as long as you are not wanting ro bundle with tv, then these are both worth looking at. Price is great too. Base is $300 for the year, so $25/month for unlimited roaming.

We did 3 runs on easy does it, and he had a great time. Stopped a bunch of times to relax his hands, while checking out all the great t rails like dirt merchant and a line. It gave him a chance to see what some people can do on bikes, plus I got a chance to see old builds like the rock drop over EZ and into dirt merchant. The only issue which kept us off any blues were that his hands were on fire. The rental edge 20 held up well, although rear suspension would have really helped.

Took him and his bmx to the dirt jumps after lunch and had another fun 3 hours in mixed sun and rain. He wanted to go up with me again this morning but we didn't have time to grab him another rental and pass. Plus dad needed to get a half dozen grown up runs before checkout time.

Whistler Forum • Tips for riding fireroads?

Thu, 02 Aug 2012 22:14:09 +0000

To the OP, I get where you're coming from… Roads are super fast, shaled out, loose, next to no traction, dodgy for control. If anyone else says they don't feel like this, they're being too cool for school.

Bottom line is, there's no easy way to take these roads. Yes, you'll gain speed, just a fact. Best thing to realize is there's typically areas on the road that are hardpack that you can burst your brakes on, giving a bit of speed control. Second thing to know is they'll always bottom out on a flat area - eventually - and just aim for this. While riding, make sure you've got separation between your arms+shoulders and your hips+legs. Really light on your feet, really light on your hands. And just float over the crud and aim for a landing spot that can offer some grip to the brakes. Some cats hang way over the rear, which isn't the best - easy to let the front wash out. Too much pressure on the front and that next babyhead boulder will definitely take you out.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick… Trust in your bike's feedback. It can handle it - just don't get all tensed up and rigid, that's when man and machine separate.

Hope this helps. And for the record - I'm not any rockstar rider and I'm not a poseur acting like a rockstar rider. I'm just a cat getting back into the fun of gravity.

Peace,
DS

Whistler Forum • Natural progression from Crank It Up?

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 16:22:20 +0000

It's worth mentioning that Crank It Up has some optional jumps which are bigger and intended as a natural progression into bigger things. Try incorporating them into your Crank it up laps. Some of the noteworthy ones are:
- the first hit in the wide area 2-3 turns down from the top. Try the riders left hip-jump.
- the deep step up on lower crank it up after the singing pass crossing.
- there are two jumps near the end of lower crank it up which are not lippy, but very high speed. These are good confidence builders for that admittedly unique type of jump.
- The previously mentioned first two jumps on Heart of Darkness.

If you're comfortable with these jumps, try lower A-line. You mentioned Blue/Black Velvet as well. There are many jumps on these trails which are larger and/or have optional hits which are more advanced jumps. Those are there for everyone's fun, but also to give the blue rider a taste of things to come. Gauge your comfort level accordingly, take your time, and have fun out there!

Whistler Forum • Whistler Bike Park Photos

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:57:27 +0000

Hey everyone
I just wanted to post a quick note with a bit of information about the bike park photos in the WBP. In going on our website, www.bikeparkphotos.com, you can purchase digital downloads (4mp) for $25. People have commented that the prices are high, or the file size is too low. Most riders dont know that if you come into our gallery (Carleton Lodge behind Garbo Bike[HTML_REMOVED]Bean), we sell the full resolution files at a discounted rate. In the gallery, the first digital file is $25, and each additional file on the disc is $15. That means if you buy 10 images in the store, it works out to $160, or $16each (as opposed to $250, or $25 each). I just wanted to let everyone here know that as Im sure most of you ride all the time and get photographed on a regular basis.
We are also always looking for feedback on images and locations and would love to know where you would like us to set up on the hill. Keep in mind, we do need to stay on busy (ish) runs, so trails like Fade2Black are great, whereas lower Joyride or Clownshoes, not so much.
Thanks and we look forward to seeing you on the trails!

We can certainly help you out. I've personally been teaching jumps, drops, corners, cutties, whips etc in the park for 12 out of last 15 days. I can get you rolling, I mean, flying with confidence and a solid understanding of what tools are in your tool box and how to use them.

There are some good coaches out there and some pretty average ones. You get what you pay for. :) Not a slight to anyone at all, just sayin'…

We do have higher prices listed as we need to factor in travel time from North Van if a coach is going to go up for a specific session. Having said that, we usually try to book in blocks so we can group some bookings together and avoid these extra charges and lower the cost of the sessions. We have lots lined up so it could work out for you.

Let us know some dates and times you have in mind and we can reference our calendar and upcoming WBP sessions and see if we can find a fit to help you out.

counter clockwise is the right call…left into T[HTML_REMOVED]E first lap, then loop back up and into SH, AI is the right hand trail on top of the rock slab, SH goes straight

Whistler Forum • Peak Trail

Sat, 15 Oct 2011 17:18:14 +0000

FYI, this isn't an 'epic' trail ride, this is a downhill trail, built by guys who like downhilling…a very solid black level trail that I've been told has some pretty tough and exposed sections…officially Khyber and RDS will be considered 'out of bounds'….Credit to WBP for putting effort into Khyber over the last few years, the upper rebuild by Pro is awesome and really improved the experience. There's a few more sections that could use some love for sure, unfortunately it dumps you at the top of a really fast fireroad descent, or a super gnar gnar trail, Babylon. RDS on the other hand has barely withstood the heavy traffic it already receives, I'm not sure if the mountain plans on putting any effort in there, but if not I fear it's going to turn into one ugly shit show, really fast. Pretty easy for people to get in over their heads really quick on that one.

I'm stoked on the peak opening, but I'm a bit unsure as to why mtb'ers are being singled out for an increased fee. maybe it's maintenance, or patrol costs, but the mountain built high note trail for the hikers, and doesn't charge them extra to take peak chair, so I'm a bit unsure as to why we get the honour of paying for it. Regardless, I'm sure I'll drop cash a few times for the convenience, and from what I've heard the new trail from the top is really really cool. At the same time, I can see how many people will probably say no thanks and just do the half hour push to get to where they want to go.

I think looking towards the future, this will fuel more expansion, including more trails into creekside which I believe will overall be a good thing for lift accessed biking in this town. Maybe some growing pains here and there, but moving in the right direction.

I do believe it does have to do with patrol costs as well as maybe lift/trail maintenance. Plus keep in mind the peak chair is hook only, so part of the cost might have to do with future complaints of tourists about "waiting" for the bikers :P

))) i can rent a automobile, but we are need only 3 transfers… rent for all 20 days and use it only 3 times, it's not fair.

Ok here's a solution to your logistical nightmare……

Rent vehicle one way from Whistler to Kamloops (might have to do the rental from Vancouver for that leg).

Hook up with bro at Mostly Mental Shuttles

pay him to take you to Sun Peaks (located way out of town) with a shitheap of grocery and beverage.

Once finished at Sun Peaks, get shuttle bro to drive you to Silver Star, may cost you $ but cheaper than car rental and you support the local mountain biking industry.

Once finished at Silver Star get a local taxi company with a big van or suchlike to take you into town, book a one way rental back to Vancouver.

The one way car rentals may cost you more money but overall you'll spend less than 20 days with a rental car.

Fly home.

I am pretty keen to head up on Thursday (ideally) and spend a few days. Have got a ride back sorted, but need to suss a lift up for me [HTML_REMOVED] my ride…. anyone planning on taking the trip and have a spare seat/space on their rack?

Braking bumps aren't nearly as bad if you don't brake on top of them. Ride smarter and brake earlier or later or choose a different line to avoid them and your hands will be fine

just high line where those pussy bumps are in the bottom of the berm

So don't discount a day in the park with him either.

Sat, 27 Aug 2011 05:37:22 +0000

Since the shimano XT brake takes mineral oil, I would recommend going to the pharmacy buy a jug of mineral oil for $5 (I know shimano does not recommend it but the only difference between shimano brand and pharmacy brand is the colour) also make sure it says 100% mineral oil and that it is the only ingredient on the label.

I have done this to my saint brakes, and oh boy they work better than ever!

I'll help you get started with the bleeding: http://www.pinkbike.com/video/170853/

Good luck!

If you're gonna do that, make sure it isn't the thick oil (like Johnson's Baby Oil). That doesn't work so well.

Or just go and buy a litre jug of Shimano oil, its around $30 and will last you many many years, as long as you're not bleeding brakes every week, then I would suggest new brakes.

Long, but the first climb is super easy, there's a road traverse in the middle to eat up the distance. The only real tough climb is from Function. Oh and that one steep bit on the trail from the end of Stonebridge road.

I have dreams of riding this sometimes.

thats a pretty sweet loop. im pretty sure most of the steep bit of the stonebridge climb is all nice looping switchbacks now as well. Function is still hard shit though

Haven't seen a Yet Tent, and they're not listed on the Crankworx Expo list.

http://www.crankworx.com/index.php/info/kokanee-crankworx/expo

The lack of industry support is really lame this year. At least half, even some of the big guns, that are listed as showing up on the site are nowhere to be seen. Maybe they'll be up for the final weekend, but at the moment it's really weak.

That said, the events are better supported than I can remember.

When the people there are 60% Aussie and 30% British I can imagine it being somewhat tedious showcasing the Canadian versions of a product, when the market there is only interested in foreign versions, prices and availability. I'm sure they'll turn up for the flippy flappy competition though.

Although I'm enjoying watching the events on the webcasts, I think the coverage leaves alot to be desired. Perhaps the money or interest is not there to do a better, more professional job. During the Garbo DH today the announcers weren't sure who was coming down next [HTML_REMOVED] who was in first etc. Is it me or does the crowd seem pretty tame compared to past years? Maybe it ramps up towards the end.

I think there was a screw up somewhere. I was watching and they were saying stanbridge was in the hot seat but he hadn't even gone past us. They def had some issues with that.

Sun, 26 Jun 2011 17:07:29 +0000

TTB is right, the rules for working holiday visas have changed. In previous years you had to go through BUNAC but now you can apply directly to the high commission. I believe it has also changed so you can get multiple working holidays now so potentially you can just keep getting new ones over and over (though you may need to do visa runs to get a new visa activated). Oh its worth noting that if you have been working in Canada for 2 years through visas/sponsorship you will be eligible for canadian residency through the Canadian Experience Class (which I'm going through right now).

Bikes over here are, amazingly, very easy to come by. You can often find really great deals on bikes like Norcos on the north shore at stores like john henry but bringing your own bike over is a good idea if you already have one. As for snowboards/skis you can pick up great deals in the thanksgiving turkey sales in BC.

Sponsored visas. The only way to get a sponsored visa is if you have a job/skillset that is needed by Canada, before an employer can sponsor you they need to gain a positive LMO (Labour Market Opinion) which basically means "Yeah we need that guy, you can hire him as a sponsor" and then you can apply for a work permit. It is hassle and only worth doing if you a) have a job that is eligible for a positive LMO and b) you don't mind being stuck with the same job.

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 05:50:18 +0000

I prefer the more steep/technical style of trails. To be honest, I am fairly ignorant when it comes to the pros and cons of the different bikes. Would a shock overhaul actually make that noticeable a difference? And how big a difference would I notice in the technical sections with slacker geometry and a little more suspension (for example the Yeti 303rdh). The general trend at Whistler from my season there was that everybody seems to have a hard-on for more suspension. Is this not necessarily beneficial?

Thanks for your help, guys.

A shock overhaul would make a big difference. Slacker geo will make the bike more forgiving, better at high speed, but will compromise handling on low speed tech. More suspension will help you at speed over the rough stuff, but again, on low speed, steep tech stuff, it can often hinder you.

Go look at the storage rooms in the Sundial, they work great! They give you a ticket and put the other half on the handle bar, you need the matching ticket to get the bike and only employees can let you in after you show them you have a bike ticket thing. They've got something on the wall that simply holds the front tire, pretty simple and effective. I definitely like the idea of having the bikes in the building.

Thu, 11 Nov 2010 05:38:43 +0000

Twoonies are pretty much for anyone, so anyone needs to be able to have a decent ride.

I think there is a place for a super D series in Whistler, but I don't think toonies are this place. I think the success of the toonie races is partly because they appeal to everyone, and are mellow enough that they appeal to all riding abilities.

would it be better to time everyones climb and then time the descent sending everyone thirty seconds or something apart???

This is similar to an idea that (kind of) worked for Richie's rally, but I don't think it would be very feasible for a toonie race, with 300+ entries, and sign up fee at $2. I think you would need a different race series. Does anyone know how popular the super D series has been on the island?

Whistler Forum • Whistler to start logging WORCA trails...

Thu, 16 Sep 2010 23:30:17 +0000

Congrats WORCA ..

Also of note, the logging has been delayed according to the Question:

http://www.whistlerquestion.com/article/20101013/WHISTLER01/310139973/-1/whistler/cheakamus-community-forest-logging-delayed

Opinions vary on whether this is really because (a) it's simply taking awhile to process the CCF apps or (b) the Province thinks Whistler's selective logging is too radical and they are uncomfortable with it as it might encourage others in seeking forestry alternatives (this is a power shift from Provinces to Munis in forest management, and is shifting forestry from larger corps to muni chosen partners, in this case the much smaller Richmond Plywood, and though the Prov wants to offload responsibility, they still want to maintain control over the conditions of the CCF).

Guess we'll see.

The alarmist note in the question is somewhat ridiculous - ie that if not logged now, we'll have to log more later - what this delay does do is create more time for alternatives.

Go WORCA, I hope the seat on the Council holds effective weight and isn't just smoke on the water…

I like this one.
I heard the whole story before he was going to post it sounded real hard copy on the phone . I cant imagine what happens next. Has anyone been out of control with steering and brakes and kept charging even though you should not have?
Finish the story.Re name it "The three little pigs go trespassing" delete other Threads and finish what may be interesting reading. This part 1[HTML_REMOVED]2 crap is harder to follow than some of his riding lines.

those would be two HUGE mounds of dirt by the time you figure out ingress and egress grades , the cost of getting it into the site , the big piece of equipment you'd need to build it , the big log stringers you'd need . . . it ain't gonna be cheap .

just getting all that into the site is gonna cause some headaches .

and if you look at the site , what's easier : dirt merchant over rutabega , or rutabega over dirt merchant ?

hahahaha true it would be cool if both lines were open tho to mix it up. there isnt much for trails in that general area.

I've never slept in the lots before so I don't have a point of reference, but it seemed fairly busy and no one was hassled about staying the night.

Unfortunately it wasn't Shale Master or Filthy Ape or some other epic ride.

Turns out I actually fractured my hip in June when I ate shit on the big rock drop on Schleyer.

Then on Monday I landed hard on the same spot when I washed out the first turn on A-Line (uh what?).

The next morning just hit a jump wrong (tried to get too much pop and failed in pretty much every way) and then proceeded to land on the same exact f'in spot.

Now it looks like someone tattooed a black dinner plate on my hip.

So, not sure which wipeout did what but all I know is that I've got to wait at least six weeks before I ride again.

My buddy is having a great time though… bastard.

Being a tourist in Whistler sucks. I don't know how people do it.

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 02:40:15 +0000

Well I rode up Beaver pass to get to Lower Sproatt / 99'er in the first place, so that was fine. I was debating just going up the road to North Danimal, because I love that trail, but the Whistler Trail book thing that everyone raves about said that 99'er continued for another 100 metres or so. I guess the book IS 2 years old, so I can't really complain.

Thanks for the info though. My goal this summer (as of last week) is to try to do as many of the trails around there as possible before the season ends. I had forgotten how much more fun trails can be after you've earned your turns, even if they're not the best. Spend too much time in the bike park I guess

Mainly i think since people are brake checking hard into that jump the brake bumps get people all squirly and in a awkward position just my thoughts the trail crew does amazing work considering in all the circumstances they have to deal with..

slow down = /= slam on the brakes

but I do get what you're saying.

Whistler Forum • Valley Trail Suggestions

Fri, 25 Jun 2010 01:40:47 +0000

(I posted this in another thread, but maybe this would be the better one to ask this question)

Took my son and his buddy up to Whistler yesterday (Saturday) and decided to ride the trails instead of the park. I rode Cut yer Bars, Big Kahuna to White knuckles, then decided to continue the ride around the lake to do Green Lake Loop back to town. CYB I've done before and really enjoy, Big Kahuna was OK, but I used the Whistler trail handbooks advise and entered from the North, but realized it would have been more fun coming the other way…Green Lake Loop was a mistake in many ways, pretty boring, plus I really didn't prepare food or water wise for the length of ride…rookie mistake! I was pretty bonked by the end.

I was looking through the book again today trying to scope out some trails for my next trip that are along the same lines as Cut yer bars and White knuckles. Any suggestions? Kill Me thrill me? River? Maybe park at Wedge Creek and do Comfortably Numb to Young Lust?

Thanks

The four pack was finally perfect, I'm suprised it got torn down, but the three pacs not bad, not as good as the four pack but not bad.
It would be nice if the first jump had a steeper landing and the third jump was a little longer, I have to brake check it a fair bit.

Whistler Forum • Bike Park on a Hardtail?

Fri, 18 Jun 2010 18:10:46 +0000

Slight thread derailment.

I have a Specialized FSR XC Expert: which I am in the process of upgrading the fork to a 20mm axle. Would that bike handle the bike park? I'd mostly be sticking to the blue routes and I can't decide if I should rent a bike or not. I'd love to take my own bike to the park but I'd be gutted if I bust it…

I wouldn't be worried about the frame, that should hold out fine as long as you are careful and slow-ish. The shock is the same as on the pitch comp, and there are plenty of pitches at whistler.
The rims will probably be the weak spot. Specialized in particular has a habit of speccing undersized rims.

So on the topic of pot holes of death and waves of braking bumps, how are the Blue trails fairing early in the season?

The upper parts are all in decent shape. Lower CiU is a bit degraded, but still ok. Only Heart of Darkness is its usual stuttery self and will eat wrists for breakfast. :lol:

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 09:54:58 +0000

Besides the obvious of making shure the dominant light source is behind you try using different f stops to change your depth of field. You can also shoot as slow of a shutter as possible and track the rider for that rider in focus, background blurred. Lastly, remember that nothing is more boring than the subject in the center if the frame. Hope I'm not stating the obvious.

Whistler Forum • Trance X: Whistler capable do-it-all?

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 20:25:43 +0000

I love my Trance X but its a trail bike. Even beefed up I still would not ride it at the park. If you want a Giant I would look at the Reign.

Agreed. I bought a Reign SX this year as my mini-DH bike. With a 70mm stem, wide bars, 2.4's and a low seat, it rips the machined trails on Whistler and most of the Shore. The only downfall is the techladen, steep rocky rooted trails like Crack Addict, Neds, DRC, and the like. 6.7 is not 8.0 and semi-slack and mid-low is not slaaack and looww.

If all your riding buddies are going to be on DH bikes, then life will suck. If everyone is on small/mid travel AM bikes then you'll be good. Again sooooo many factors to work into the compromise.

Shirk brings up a great point about what your buddies are riding. When I'm out with friends on their Hookers [HTML_REMOVED] SX's I'm easily with the pack, but when they're on Demos, Shockers [HTML_REMOVED] Glorys I need to push myself past my comfort level to barely keep up. At that point to I need to work much harder and get tired easier.

If you're more suited to XC, get a TX, but I would be pretty hesitant about taking it in the park or shuttling, unless you are super smooth and light on your kit. It sounds like you are going to upgrade the TX closer to a RX spec. I can XC just fine on the RX and enjoy the down way more.

Thu, 13 May 2010 17:14:28 +0000

You have to remeber a Statement of Claim will list all kinds of allegations that the plaintiff has the onus to prove. A good lawyer will list all possibilities because if the lawyer doesn't, and they get to a trail and they missed a allegation that was valid, too bad. It's kind of like taking your bike in to a shop because it has a mystery creak. The mechanic and you might suspect it is a certaion pivot, but you want that mechanic to run through it all to be sure.

It is quite possible that she did not see or hear a marshal. Maybe she wasn't paying attention, maybe the racer wasn't paying attention. Seems to me if a race crossed a road that there ought to have been some form of control, a marshal or perhaps a road closure. Maybe they are both at fault.

that border collie has some stamina,i know this other young dog that can pin it down mystery and neds but the deal is they have 3x more fun than average dogs but have to be retired early cause of joint failure that ninja couger is so flowy you only have to pedel in 3 spots the rest is pump and push

He goes at the dogs speed and doesn't let him run too fast for too long. Plus Hector knows all the short cuts!

The gruff older liftie that checks passes like a hawk told me that Friday of CW was a record day for lift ticket sales. I've been told in the past that they have bigger single day ticket sales for bike events than snow events. I can believe that they make more money off the summer season than the winter season though. Operating expenses must be massive in the winter compared to the summer but even with that…

you guys sound like a bunch of school girls who just got their milk money taken. HTFU!
Greg's a good guy and part of his job is to make sure people don't use other people's passes.
His only job is to scan everyone so if you were expecting a hand job with your scan, check the ads in the back of the Pique.

BTW-he's always asking me how my run was or how I'm doing.

If people have problems getting their bike in the rack, thats the least of their problems compared to what awaits. If you can't load your bike on your own, maybe you should consider staying on the valley trail.
O, did I mention…HTFU!

yeah exactly. He asked me a few questions yesterday when I wore my helmet in line to make sure it was really my pass, but it's good to know that he's actually doing his job. He even apologized after and said he was just makin sure. I also have noticed on several occasions where he did start conversation when the line is slow and crowded, and does ask how my run was sometimes. pretty cool guy

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 03:33:51 +0000

I feel that the limitations aren't worth the "benefits"….they have their place in smooth trail locales, but I think that in the pnw they aren't ideal. rode one last spring and I found it too high, the wheels were really flexy, the tire clearance was piss poor, tire selection is poor….I just felt like the overall handling characteristics in the type of situations I prefer, steep, technical, rooty, rocky, tight…it just didn't perform as well as a regular 26" bike….I tried it out, and I don't think they live up to their hype, at least not in this area…

Definitely can say the tire selection sucks. Reminds me of the early 90's tires. Great for California but weak for any where else on the planet.

I would like to see something like a big mountain event. not quite like rampage, more just based on line choice and not on tricks, like a free skiing event. Judging from the Kranked movies, there's lots of suitable terrain out there for some steep big mountain lines where athletes could find their way down and get judged on techical difficulty and smoothness. bring back big bikes. and more rampage.

name some names/QUOTE]

Len (I asked his name) was the first guy who had a quick look at it and was somewhat re-assuring when he told me he didn't think the cartridge ($450) was shot.
My mechanic was wearing silver rimmed glasses and had the front and center stall. I'm not sure, but he looked Asian to me. I feel stupid, I should have asked his name.
It's funny,(and very much appreciated) that Len must have heard my plight while I was 'splaining it to the dude at the counter, piped up from behind somewhere and knocked a day off the turn-around. He then went to the trouble of pulling a new cartridge off the wall (and grabbed a Fox double crown he was working on) and explained what can potenially go wrong with the fork.

The rental was $40 for the day and with one free dvd. And $5 for each additional. The camera quality was really good and when the SD card was full he just gave us another one and sent us on our way. Also while burning disc for us, he hook it up at the GLC bar above on the TV so we could watch. Really cool and highly recommended.

I was up riding for the first time this year and I noticed a bunch of braids I have never noticed before on goats gully, in deep and a few others, not to mention No joke/new joke. It seems to me that we should just ride the trails as marked instead of creating a chundery mess everywhere.

I saw someone using one of these braided lines down inDeep or something similar (I can't remember) But he came barreling through and pushed past and was dropping in on our buddy, so I shouted out 'Rider Up' so that he knew what was happening. The guy crashed as he came out of the braided line so as to avoid my mate……I just laughed and casually shouted out….."RIDER DOWN".:lol:

props to the builders :)

that place looks so much fun to ride, if I ever have the fortune to be passing through with my bike, I'll come and session and I KNOW I'll have fun riding the park

riding is what you make of it - we had Wade Simmons at the Esher Shore park here in England a few years back, and he had a blast, the park was only half built but he did some crazy, creative lines and we witnessed some awesome riding

then we get cool kids telling us "this place is boring" but when you watch them ride its a real mess, no style, no tricks, no creation - watch a pro rider at work and they find fun with any terrain in front of them

every time I ride my BMX in a new skatepark here in London that people have told me is "wack" I always have fun and find loads of new lines to session

Whistler Forum • Whis Valley Trails: what to ride?

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:31:03 +0000

Rebob is labled correctly, it only goes up and bumps into Billy's, turn around and down Rebob, Nectar Connector is after you head down the lowest part of Billy's at the end of Rebob, to the Nectar back to Rebob

The book is possibly 100% correct here, but it seems like most people in town call everything between Rainbow Falls [HTML_REMOVED] Get Over It as Rebob. It doesn't help that there are so many different threads weaving around in there. Maybe the error is really Terrapro maps for mislabeling it over the years on their maps.

and it is missing nothing from Lower sproat that I know of, maybe the part that heads around the beaver pond and back to the Stonebridge road isn't there….they did alot of GPS work on that one and they are really accurate…

It's missing the gravel road that connects from westside road right by Nita Lake housing to the base of the climb. Someone who hasn't ridden Sproat before is going to have a hard time finding the start of the trail by using the book. Also, they recommend riding it from North to South, which is the opposite way to how I've seen anyone ride it.

I'm not here to bash the book - they did a great job (I wish it existed when I moved to town). I'm just pointing out a handful of omissions.

Whistler Forum • Linking banked turns?

Sun, 24 May 2009 22:48:38 +0000

three simple things to think about every corner. brake, look, lean
brake- brake before the corner
look- look far ahead and where you want to go
lean- lean that bike and put your hips to the outside while pointing your belly button to the exit.

personally i keep my pedals level for multiple quick berms. it allows me to pump them and quickly be ready for the next one and it also makes me feel like i can really lean the bike and rail the corner. For the big long/loose or off camber corners I might drop a pedal down. Example being up on garbonzo and some of those fast big road corners. outside pedal down and have at it.

Whistler Forum • Chromag on Comfortably Numb

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:55:32 +0000

So I just got my copy of the Whistler Mountain Bike Guide, and hot damn this is a great resource and a perfect size. Laid out my non-park itinerary in no particular order what do you think?

Day 1 - Comfortably Numb
Day 2 - Function Junction to Cheap Thrills on Flank Trail.
Day 3 - Khyber Pass
Day 4 - Kill Me, Thrill Me

Best to hit up River after coming down Cheap Thrills or River, climb up somehow, Cheap Thrills and Beaver Pass?

a. Khyber barely counts as a non-park day.
b. 99er starts where Cheap Thrills ends, so adding it on will definitely be a good combo.
c. River backwards is fun, but if it's your first River lap ever you might as well do it the proper direction. When you exit Lower Beaver Pass, turn left/north on the road, [HTML_REMOVED] join River at either the Rainbow Falls parking lot or just after Bart's Dark Trail joins the road and ride it towards Rainbow Park.

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 18:51:32 +0000

Buy everything you need, plus some spares for obvious stuff before you leave.

You will be shocked at how expensive Whistler is, and how unapologetic staff are about the prices. You're a captive audience, desperate to eliminate any hold up to your vacation.

Oh, and 5 10s are $115 (PLUS tax) at MEC. I doubt they will be much better than $160 in Whistler.

Edit: Ask yourself - how long will my soft compound tyres last? My 60a Highroller/Minion combo is showing some good wear, and Garbo has only just opened. Maxxis tyres = better part of $100 (again then Tax gets added on top).
Maxxis minions are currently the equivalent of $66 on CRC (after VAT). You do the math(s).

The one that gets me all the time is the one after the bridge. Always feels like the lip is just WAY too steep and I get bucked. I have taken to just living with it.

Quite a few years back that jump was awesome… The lip was much taller. Now it's just short and steep and not very fun. It scares me now. For a long time I thought it was just me being not very good - glad to hear I'm not the only one that doesn't like that jump.

We did the 4 night, 3 day package. It was everything they promised. The hotel was sweet, 4 hot-tubs and an indoor / outdoor pool, a sauna, and free bike storage. The room had a full kitchen, balcony, fireplace, and best of all a washer and dryer. We booked our massage on our non-riding day and it was awesome. Spent the rest of the day at the lake. It was me and my girlfriend for this package but it would also work for a group of guys or ladies. I think the people behind this company have a mountain-bike background. Anyhow, just wanted to share.

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:59:59 +0000

I had the same problem when I was learned them. I overcame it by straightening my legs in the air which brought my knees back towards the seat giving room for the bars to come around.

This helped me a lot as well. Also to get comfy turning your bars around pull up slightly so your front end is higher which makes it easier to get used to rotating your bars all the way and then you don't have to pull up as much once you got it. Try doing it stationary, then pull your bike up on its back wheel and see how much easier it is to turn the bars.

I remember going down the fire road/ski run from the top the first time and coming
up to the water bar not realizing it was as deep as it was. I think I just barely got

This advice isn't just valid for Whistler. It works everwhere.

Whistler Forum • Bike Park First Day

Fri, 15 May 2009 04:43:57 +0000

A few years ago I was on the lift, going over that first ALine table where the rookies eat it all the time. A rider was down, and was being attended to by the ambulance people.

The rider's buddies were waiting there with him, sitting under a tree as the paramedics took care of the hurt rider.

I could see a bear sitting in the tree above the two friends, who didn't know Mr. Bear was there.

I guess someone yelled from the lift a few minutes later, and those guys bolted faster than a bad case of the trots.

Then there was the time a bear jumped into the Longhorn patio. Someone on here has a picture of it. The patio cleared fairly quickly.

I've got pictures somewhere of a couple of bears hanging out just on the other side of the last table off A-Line before turning left down to the GLC drops. They were sitting there watching, right on the side of the trail, just out of sight of anyone hitting that table. Not sure if they were enjoying the show or waiting for dinner.

Tue, 19 May 2009 21:50:27 +0000

Chances are they don't get the number of riders needed to justify opening Garbonzo until it actually opens anyways. I'm sure it would work though.

The lower bike park could open sooner too. Most of the lower mountain doesn't get skied in April. Spread some dust around and almost everything on the lower mountain could open at the end of April.

Whistler Forum • Chainless questions...

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:34:13 +0000

No sh!t sherlock…

I was thinking about the benefits of gearbox bikes that only have a single gear in the back and no deraileur. I was trying to figure out how much of a benefit it is to move that weight forward even if the gearbox ends up adding some overall weight. I think I'd take a 45 pound bike with the extra 3 pounds all near the BB versus a 42 pound bike if the only difference was the classic drivetrain.

On that point, I'd have to agree. I ride a bike where the mass of the thing is low and centred. (Sinister Splinter MX.) It is a bit of a tank (42lbs) but it does not ride that way at all. I swapped bikes with a friend for part of a run and his first comment was how light my bike was, even though he rides a 42lb rig as well.

Chainless at Whistler is a blast. I did not have the benefit of trying it with all the gear taken off the back (except for the deraileur, which broke off) but it was definitely fun!

If you have the money buy something up front. For my first season I bought a $350 volkswagen van that needed some work and fixed it up enough to live out of it. All in, it cost me about $500. I spent that season between my rented place in North Van and the Westfalia. The girl friend hated the van so I sold it the following spring to some lifties that wanted to travel before going home for $500.

Whistler Forum • Suggestions to the park, 2009.

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 00:12:14 +0000

Here is my suggestion for the Whistler Bike Park.

Put an automatic photo capture system on the GLC drops. One that takes a photo and counts the number of people that have hit the GLC in a day or week or season.

There could be a simple light sensor trigger and a camera set up to take shots from fixed location to take photos that people could then BUY for a reasonable fee or use on a website in low resolution. The counter and pictures could be posted up on a billboard or online and pictures could be posted up on a site for people to view. This will pay for itself within a season.

We could see who styles the GLC and see just how busy that jump/drop really is.

There, I just created a money maker and a hype machine for WBP.

That's a good idea. You don't see many people styling the GLC. Most people are dead sailoring (me included!).

I took this shot at C-worx 2007, which I think looks pretty good…

a bunch of my friends went in february last year for a private session, but they had to pay quite a bit!

yeah, it was quite a bit of cash per hour that's for sure.
I don't know if they'll be doing that again though.

Brain told me yesterday that he was trying really hard to have it open all winter, but there's just some things beyond his control.
He said at this moment, the airdome will have the same operation dates and hours as the bike park, maybe just a bit earlier if anything. Besides, it would be hard to get a schedule that didn't change and that also worked for everyone due to the fact that so many people use that airdome during the offseason, like ski patrol training etc. It's also insanely cold and frosty in there in january haha!

The rumour in the valley is there have been cutbacks. Whistler Blackconmb will open on the scheduled openng day of Nov 27 and not sooner even if there is enough snow unlike previous seasons where they open whenever there is enough snow. I heard some senior VP's have been demoted. Still I think it will be business as usual as far as most users are concerned.

2 days and 30 runs during crankworx…. thats a feat with the lines and crazy masses

hey, i know you! :P great riding with you on saturday.

Hey there…..absolutely. Such a fun way to start the day. Hope ya'll had a great time in the park as well!

Sharon, as always…..you rock.

KPerras, yeah, that's my Gran Mal. 3 full seasons and still going strong…..although I gave it some much needed love last winter. You can see a clean pic here: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3221/2333585940_1a0d565cae_b.jpg

Yeah, Chase is solid on the bike (took 2nd place overall in his class in the Fluidride cup) and obviously doesn't take himself too seriously. :)

Juan, thanks for the props. I am still buzzing from such a great way to end the season that I just had to give it a proper writeup.

Here's to another great season folks…..time to dig. Cheers!

OK I'm sorry I did one garbo lap but it was mega crappy up there and i didn't want to pull out the camera and get it covered in crap.

I did notice that the red SRAM sattelite dishes from the slopestyle course have migrated a lot higher up the mountain however so thats something else to look forward to next year.

Understandable.. I guess I just have to wait to see it for myself next year:rocker:

well I had two days of riding in Whis this year. Had my baby girl 4 weeks ago and it was great to get up there, as I wasn't sure it was going to happen. Was pretty funny to be all armoured up and splitting my time getting some air, and breastfeeding! Summit lent me a Flatline and I had SUCH a great weekend!!!!! Many thanks to Nina and Dan for looking after Jess so that Tippie and I could get a couple of runs in together.

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:55:48 +0000

Looks like an X7 to me, mine did the same thing a while back. Turns out it mounts back in place, and works rather well with a lot of duct tape holding it on.

Yeah it is X7. I ended up zap strapping it to the handlebars and hoping that I could end up changing the odd gear but there are bigger issues with my drivetrain than just handlebar attachment so I think I'll have to spend some cash.

On the plus side the freebie Hayes Stroker Ace brakes that I tried for the first time yesterday are absolutely sensational and will be replacing my juicy 7's long term.

Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:56:00 +0000

as a veteran of shoulder injury (4 dislocations on one, 2 on other)

I would highly recommend a theraband in the appropriate "strength" rating once you have healed (or ideally get several so you can work your way up), so you can strengthen those inner muscles that the machines or free weights in the gym cannot

keeps things tight, and balances your shoulder against overdeveloped biceps, etc.

you should be able to get therabands from your physio and you can tie them to a door handle or other appropriate fixture at home and do the exercises whilst watching TV

Seriously though, work on yourself rather than the bike. Steve Peat would kick most peoples asses if he was on a beach cruiser….I used to spend stupid amounts of money upgrading my bikes, but in the last year I've spent very little, yet I'm riding better than I ever have. DH is more about fitness and technique than the bike. Plenty of pro DH racers jump on a road bike for example.

Wed, 12 Jul 2006 02:24:19 +0000

Road the park on Friday with Sharon and a buddy from work and his brother (visiting from Ontario)… and man was the park was in incredible shape.

Rode Mission on Sat.

Returned on Sunday, slightly hung from the Vollie party in Mission but on by Denise and Greg… and rode top to bottom laps all day with another buddy Colin from North Van. Ran into a bunch of friends from the US and even got to see Mitch.

That is why I love Whistler, I can go it alone and in no time I have a tone of people to ride with.

The Upper Mountain was a wee bit wet, okay really wet in places, but so much fun. I now like the OS rock face, not techy like the old way, but pinner fast.

The park is sloppy but in great condition and after the sun dried it out yesterday… once of the best days yet!

Sad to think that in a few weeks…

Cheers!

Biluks tireless riding during the canadian open was pretty impressive, its hard to ride the root lines with just a rim.

that was fkn awesome. I was marshaling on the steep rooty section near the bottom before you bust out of the trees and he slayed that section. At first we didn't realise he didn't have a tyre. We heard the horrible noise but didn't think much of it 'cause he was riding an Orange but once he was past we realised he was on the rim. Crowd went wild as he railed the turn at the bottom, popped the jump and pedalled off like an idiot. Loved it.

Patrol Skid do you have any idea about this?

I've always had my worst crashes towards the end of the day. Combination of over confidence and fatigue(dehydration). Been more mindful of this lately and have been taking the last couple runs down a knotch.

If the WBP is like all other bike parks, then I'm going to go out on a limb and say end of the day. The CWSAA would have all the stats on this collected on accident reports- and all the bike parks I believe are members of this association. I would love to know what WBP's accident rate per thousand is- I bet it's 2X what other bike parks deliver. Problem with those numbers are that visitors include foot passengers, not even biking.

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 05:17:35 +0000

Well we had some fun:) It was a lot of new things for my wife to take in/keep in mind (level pedals/standing up/descending/turning (yes/quite a bit tighter than her usual and often with descents included)/looking ahead/rolling quick enough to have reasonable stability…

Three trips of EZ does it slow, 1st and 3rd she fell on same corner (4th last or so?), didn't enter wide and got caught having to turn too tight and descending/fistful of front brake got her over the bars tangled in the bike first time! Stretched (likely sprained but already strengthening) thumb took the brunt… I suggeted she follow me through an got gruffly told to get ahead ;^) We're both alpha's and her even more so sometimes!

She did enjoy it, would like to do it again (not for speed/just once she's got the skills down so it's easily enjoyable doing greens, we'll see where it goes) and now has a much better understanding of skills etc and importance of all so will be easier for us to spend some time on them. She also now easily understands and wants the basic armour as she's seen how falling can be a non or very minor injury with the basic gear on. All positives.

That was Saturday, v. slow runs, finished her 3rd at 4:30…I sprinted for the chair to get one run in on my own, got VERY lucky IMO and was allowed on the lift for my 3rd solo at 5:10, so got 3 sessions of CIU (boy has it been beat up in last 10 days!) knocked out in less than an hour and had my quick 'sprint' (for me) fill. Eucalyptus steam room was a great surprise at the hotel, didn't know it came with accessories :)

This am we did the wide open Lost Lake loop which was a nice close off before we hit the road to ensure construction didn't interfere with my making the airport for work last this aft. I did pick up the Whistler Bike trail/guide book quick this am and looks like a fine resource.

Thanks again for the inputs.

To any kids that do this there are many places that are for passing on these trails where you can be polite and not scare the living hell out of them…. and YEA GIRL! way to school that kid!

totally, i remember my adrenaline kicking in like crazy when I rode a-line for the first time. I'd have to pull over and listen to see if anyone was ripping further up the trail haha

it's so good today, just got back from some killer traction laps, about to head back after a refuel……heart of darkness is on my shitlist this weekend, every time (nearly half a dozen) I've ridden in this weekend I've come to a fully stopped line of no less than 10 riders at the 'ravine' section……brutal…..I keep thinking "this time it won't happen" so I go ride it, big mistake…..

should be good tomorrow aft connor, gotta help the girlfriend move the rest of her stuff from pemby to her new place I think…..although she did just go now to do a load and even said I may not have to help…..damn she's rad! :)

tubeless has been good to me so far. Countless days riding eagle, burke and woodlot, 5 times to whistler, 2 to silverstar, and so far 1 burp and one torn tire due to the very jagged sharp rock shards up near blue velvet/freighttrain.

I was running single wall minions for weight savings. I think I will stick with those as they have lasted through everything but this little mishap. Actually, is there any reason I can't just patch the inside of the tire with a patch or piece of intertube ?

Sounds like Andreu could have taken some tips from Urban Dictionary and chosen some different vocabulary after his win. Mouthing off like a sailor does nothing positive for the sport. Step it up, man. None of the "real legends" would have rattled off like that.
That should be a deciding factor in letting the athlete keep an award, methinks. It happens in the Olympics.

haha, and that wrestler who chucked his medal and punched a wall was any better of an ambassador. I'm not a huuuuge Andreu fan, but he looked like he was kinda stunned and just so pumped. I highly doubt MTBing really has that gentleman appearance that cricket or something would have, he just looked like a stoked dirtbag to me.

On the other hand I find the way the riders act out side of comps is where they really show what they are like…. or announcers (brad's little statement last year-- "I've been doing this shit since you where in diapers so fuck off")

so i did a sweep run down ciu on sat night (i think someone had already actually done it but somehow my pleading face for another lap made the patrollers change their minds :lol:)

it was amazing - dusk…some parts of the trail were actually kind of dark so it was almost like hitting the jumps by braille…it was in the cool of the evening but there was still heat coming off the trees. i'm just starting to feel comfortable with tables, step ups and step downs again after a bad crash almost 5rs ago. i felt like i was the only one on the mountain - just me and my bike, and everything flowed.

it was pretty sick, and not something i'll soon forget.

that would explain the HUGE smile you had on your face!!!!

Was it locked up as well? Just because it's secure doesn't mean nobody can steal it. If you have a sturdy lock, it will be harder to steal the bike. And someone riding away with a bike and a bolt cutter would be mighty suspicious.

True dat, we use the "secure(?)" bike room in the hotel where we stay on the weekends but also lock our bikes together with a couple monster locks. Seems to be working to date. Gonna test it again this weekend, can't wait to get up there tomorrow for a couple days..

Remember I mentioned I rode silverstar 2 weeks ago for 2 days, had to call it quits cause of the pain. Today I rode whistler, and got through the whole day without the pain. I got sore hands, but not a loss of control like before. So either my fingers strengthened up a but, or I am making a conscious note to not brake when I don't really need to. Or both. I suppose once whistler is done for the season, I will need to continue to work out my hands.

Exactly, and yeah I think it was clown shoes. I have cleared that trail many times before but I just hit a funky rut in the rocks and got tossed. It was a perfect shanking pole, about a 2" diameter and cut at like I said 45-60 degree angle and all mixed up in the foam blocks.

naa! the box is made from 100% recycled material and the tray is made from potatoes. if you're watching the video and you get hungry you can eat the tray!

sure there's no fancy shiny plastic case but i think it's really cool that they went with a green approach to the box.

there's no real way of going green without it looking cheap i suppose. i was wondering though, does anyone know if it is that much cheaper to go the route they did than to go with say a fancier plastic box and all? i have a feeling it's not literally cheaper.

Thanks for taking those. Nice work.

haha im in that set. i remember hitting that jump near the end of my day and after i landed i thought to myself it had to be the worst air in my life….then i saw you and instantly shuddered. thanks for the shot though.

You're welcome guys. Its so much nicer for a photographer when guys that can actually ride roll through where you're shooting!!

I don't shoot that often any more because of work but most weekends through the rest of the summer I think I'll be shooting in the park for at least a couple of hours (except next weekend - Pemby Fest!!)

Any of the people I got shots of, if you need a high-res copy of your image to print of whatever, let me know and I can send it to you.

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 03:16:46 +0000

I wouldnt attempt that rockface the first time I went down that trail. Now its one of my favorite trails at Whistler.

Well, we did stop to check things out before rolling two rocks preceding this bigger one and by that time I didn't feel like stopping to have a look, so I just rolled it and I am glad I did. By the time I saw what was coming I had to commit :), had I looked I'd probably freak out, one never knows. If not for that crack the roll would be really easy and smooth, I've seen a guy go down the middle too, but he was off the brakes and it rolled just fine.

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 20:15:33 +0000

i think the problem is i am looking at more downhill orientated tracks, over in emerald estate looks like the place to explore…thanks for the map

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! LOL etc….

Loads of people rave about Big Kahuna / Section 102 / KMTM etc but if you want DH, that's about the worst area on earth you could go to. Read my last comment about the Flank Trail….Billy Epic is sort of similar to a UK DH course….no significant drops or woodwork, just rough (but really good) singletrack. If you hit the 'right' version of Bobs Rebob after then you'll be riding some cool steep rooty switchbacks and the like down to the road and finish on River if you leik teh stuntz. Or hit Cat Scratch Fever / Mandatory Suicide (a favourite of mine) into River etc…

Don't take this the wrong way but if you are an average UK 'downhiller' and you've not been out here you might be surprised at how hard the 'XC' downhills are above Whistler. If you choose not to have a guide, have a ride around the Cut Yer Bars area to get an idea of the terrain, the grip on the rocks (very grippy…) before heading off into the hills. I took my hardtail down a certain trail above Function Junction once (not sure if it's on the map or not but I'd ridden down CT earlier….) and thought I was going to die :eek:

I'm from the UK BTW, hence knowing the differences in trails.

Whistler Forum • New to Whistler and Vancouver

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 02:21:36 +0000

Hey, I'm an Aussie, been here about 12 months.

Bike wise, I think you are going to need to look at the stinky if you plan to go with the Kona brand. Coilair is probably going to take too much of a pounding if you are going to be racing and hitting the bike park a lot. On the other hand if you are going to be riding the shore a lot the Stab is going to be a bit of a handful to pedal around. If you plan on shuttling everything you could probably get away with the Stab but a lot of 'shore riding' does include pedaling and the stab would probably kill you with that. A stinky could probably bridge the gap if you are keen on only having one bike and spec it out properly. If you do want a true all round bike I suggest that you will need to be able to put a double front chain ring on and have single crown forks.

Yeah I've got a Marin Quake right now, 7" dual ring etc which I'm loving, and thinking about bringing with me as it is an awesome bike which I can race dh and ride all day too, but if I can get a really good deal on a Kona thru a hookup I might sell it and buy a new bike…. cos new bikes are always nice! Anyway, right now I'm bringing my quake unless something changes. I've owned a stinky and coilair before and had a good run with them, I just saw the new 2009 Konas online and they look pretty sweet, I guess I watch DVD's such as Seasons, CKD etc and they are all riding DH bikes, so that made me think it might be worth owning a DH bike for the one season of my life that I will be doing lift assisted riding etc….. but reality is I want to get the most out of all the riding Canada has to offer…. so that means probably not a dh bike…. I think I need 2 bikes….
cheers

Hey All
I'm heading up this weekend Sunday the 20th of August and many subsequent weekends. I can fit 7 of us in my Van, Grimace. I can leave from my place in Surrey or my gfs at UBC so anybody between those places and Whistler could work for pick ups. Anybody else could just meet me somewhere convenient. I try and get up by 10-11 and ride til 4 eat then hit up the air dome til 7 or 8. Either Saturday or Sunday will work with my schedule. So yeah let me know and hopefully with a full van it will be cheap per person on gas eh. It's been about $45 round trip the last few times.

Whistler Forum • Grizzlies on WBP??

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 19:20:53 +0000

I am 95% sure Colin and I saw one in Garbo last year on the ski slope near fatcrobat. I know the difference and this one had the pig nose and a significant hump between the shoulders. We stopped down the slope and checked him out. He was really tall but skinny too, seemed to foraging. With a small number of grz in the Callaghan its not that unlikely that the blasting and construction in the valley has displaced a few bears.

95% sure? sounds like 100% to me. There's no doubt in my mind you could see a grizzly on Whistler Mtn. There's a known population of them at the far end of Cheakamus Lake, which isn't very far away for a grizzly.

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 19:37:36 +0000

Hi,
Coming for eight days from the far Middle East (without my camel).
What do you think ? which bike will suit better for the park?

bring the camel too. I would bet that the cost of flying it out would be cheaper than the cost of lift tickets. You can leave the camel in the overnight lot and use it for shuttling. Depending on the lines, it may actually be faster. Plus when you wander down to the shore, you may find you are actually passing people on the sea to sky thanks to the construction traffic. Win-win all around!

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 18:06:03 +0000

i have a STD and i gotta tell u its a fantastic ride..

while it is possible to ride it fast enuf throu some of Whistlers more techy/nasty sections to get it a touch on teh hairy side i still think its a better bike for all year riding..

if u want a pure park bike and arent intersted in anything other then chairlift/shuttle rides you'll be happier on the shocker..but if u enjoy alot of riding styles and locations the STD is the choice to make

the Shocker is a purebred DH racer..with gobs of travel to excel in that discipline…

out of my riding time i'd say the 95[HTML_REMOVED]#37; of the time im happy on my STD the other 5% i would like a Shocker for.. haahah..

hope that helps.

Whistler Forum • Dig day and Bike Park so far (pics)

Sat, 10 May 2008 23:06:57 +0000

Hey folks,

I just wanted to catch everyone before their weekend decisions were made. The weather has been cooperative for the last few days and the Trail Crew and Bike Patrol have been putting in extra effort to offer up more options for riders this weekend. We have gone way beyond the cautiously optimistic plan to get A-Line and Crank it Up open and now plan to offer up mountain biking on a total of 11 trails. We have B-Line, Crabapple Hits, Lower Easy Does it, Heart of Darkness, Devils Club, Crack Addict, Old School, Hornet and Monkey Hands ready to open.

The trails are in "early season" condition with limited buffing and patching of jumps and lots of mud. I decided that it would be better to have more trail options in the softer conditions and leave the jump sculpting until a bit later,(most jumps and landings are in pretty good shape) therefore the trail crew spent more time moving snow and managing water runoff than moving dirt and shaping jumps.

I have taken "quality assurance" runs down A-Line, Crank it Up, Crabapple Hits and B-Line and feel that the riders who come up for the weekend will find it to be a fantastic opening for the 2008 season!

Bring it on.

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 06:03:52 +0000

Hey
I am pseudo new to the boards. This looks like a good a place as any to ask my Q. So here it is; is there a good amount of freeride stuff not in the park itself? I know there is exceptional XC/All Mtn stuff around there (though I've only ridden about 3-4 of those trails), but I am wondering about Vancouver/North Shore style things too. Shuttle or pedal up and bomb down with decent well constructed stunts (nothing too big for wimps like me :) Anyway, I saw the gargamel trail pic which looked pretty sweet, but just wondering if there is lots of stuff like that. I'd imagine there is, but if anyone can confirm either way that'd be cool. Oh, and if it is all secret trails you can say "yes, but it's secret". I am thinking of moving up for the summer, so if I live there I'd imagine at some point I can bribe someone into showing me at least a couple secret trails :)
THanks!

Gravity Logic goes solo

The Progression The Gravity Logic group, which has helped design the Whistler Mountain Bike Park, is in demand around the globe.
Published 2008-04-24 09:41:30

Bike park planning group spun off from Whistler-Blackcomb
By Andrew Mitchell

Three years before there even was a Whistler Mountain Bike Park, Dave Kelly and Rob Cocquyt were cutting trails on Whistler Mountain with Eric White of Whistler Backroads Adventures. Before that they were building trails in Squamish, including legendary Powerhouse Plunge, 19th Hole, Power Smart, Pseudo Suga, and others with a distinctive freeride bent.

When Whistler-Blackcomb decided to open a bike park in 1999, Kelly, Cocquyt, and Tom Prochazka were the obvious choices to plan and build the new trails. Since then the size and scope of the bike park has increased every year, while ridership has increased by double digit percentages annually.

[HTML_REMOVED]#8220;When we built those first trails on the park in 1996 a busy day was 25 riders, and we were all making single digit hourly wages,[HTML_REMOVED]#8221; said Kelly. [HTML_REMOVED]#8220;I never thought in a million years that I would be heading to China or Norway or the Mediterranean to build mountain bike parks and making a legitimate career out of it.[HTML_REMOVED]#8221;

The success of the park has prompted other mountain resorts around the world to sit up and take notice, which more than two years ago prompted Whistler-Blackcomb to create the Gravity Logic group to serve as consultants for the growing lift-assisted mountain bike industry. They also hosted Gravity Logic forums in Whistler, inviting other resorts to take part.

Last week Gravity Logic[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s principal employees [HTML_REMOVED]#8212; Kelly, Cocquyt and Prochazka [HTML_REMOVED]#8212; confirmed that Whistler-Blackcomb was transferring ownership of the company to their group.

[HTML_REMOVED]#8220;It didn[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;t really fit into (Whistler-Blackcomb[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s) business model,[HTML_REMOVED]#8221; said Kelly. [HTML_REMOVED]#8220;They are a ski company that runs lifts, restaurants, and stores, but they[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;re not really in the business of being mountain bike park consultants.[HTML_REMOVED]#8221;

Kelly confirmed that the newly created Gravity Logic Inc. has a five year deal to provide trail design services to the Whistler Mountain Bike Park, as well as to dozens of other clients around the world who are looking to build, diversify or upgrade their bike parks.

To that end, Kelly credits Rob McSkimming, Whistler-Blackcomb[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s vice president of business development and the former managing director of Gravity Logic, for his forward thinking.

[HTML_REMOVED]#8220;The reason we did this is because Whistler is by far the most successful mountain bike park in the world, nobody else is even close,[HTML_REMOVED]#8221; he said. [HTML_REMOVED]#8220;Last year Silver Star had just over 15,000 rider visits, when we were over 100,000 [HTML_REMOVED]#8212; and Silver Star is one of the better examples.

[HTML_REMOVED]#8220;There is a parallel to the ski world. There are ski areas all over North America, but ultimately the goal for most skiers and riders is to come to Whistler and ski the mountains, which is how they[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;ve achieved over two million skiers visits a year. The sport of downhill, lift assisted mountain biking is still immature, but if we want to grow our visits to the bike park we need to grow the whole business. In that sense what[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s good for Silver Star is good for us.

[HTML_REMOVED]#8220;We[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;re basically looking at the product around the world, and saying the reason why the sport hasn[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;t taken off is that the product is substandard pretty much everywhere except for Whistler and Silver Star. If we can improve and better the rider experience around North America and around the world, we[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;ll grow biker visits to the Whistler-Blackcomb park.[HTML_REMOVED]#8221;

Some of the projects planned include a competition park in China, ski resorts in Norway, France, and Austria, and closer to home in Winter Park, Jackson Hole, Steven[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s Pass, Bitterroot, and Calgary Olympic Park. Some projects are starting from scratch, while others are redesigns.

For example, Kelly says attendance at the Calgary Olympic Park has actually started to drop recently, which he says is the result of the park being too difficult. [HTML_REMOVED]#8220;They basically outbuilt their customers, and went to the triple black diamond crowd, which is really only five to 10 per cent of the market. They need to diversity their product, and offer more trails to a larger market of people.[HTML_REMOVED]#8221;

For Whistler, this year[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s jobs include planning and maintaining the courses for Crankworx, adding intermediate trails to the Garbanzo Zone, and building a trail down from the Roundhouse. The goal of the last project is to be more efficient when visitor numbers drop after Labour Day, and service the park with the gondola instead of the Fitzsimmons and Garbanzo Lifts.

Gravity Logic is also doing a feasibility plan for mountain biking on Blackcomb, which is one of the ideas put forward to handle busy days in the Whistler Mountain Bike Park. Adding more trails to Garbanzo will help spread out traffic, but it may not be enough.

[HTML_REMOVED]#8220;It[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s critical to increase our lift capacity, (Whistler-Blackcomb) wants their numbers to grow,[HTML_REMOVED]#8221; said Kelly. [HTML_REMOVED]#8220;It[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s satisfactory right now to have 100,000 visits, but the goal in the end will be to have 200,000 mountain bike visits per year and to handle that we[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;ll need to have more lifts running.[HTML_REMOVED]#8221;

It[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s shaping up to be a lot of work, but Kelly says it doesn[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;t feel like it.

[HTML_REMOVED]#8220;I can tell you that in the last two years I[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;ll occasionally get tired of the travelling, the airports and driving back and fourth, but when I[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;m on site I haven[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;t even had five minutes where I might have regretted my career path here. Speaking for Pro (Prochazka), Rob and myself (Gravity Logic) truly is a dream job come true, and I couldn[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;t envision doing anything else right now.[HTML_REMOVED]#8221;

In 2006 I was in Samoens this time of year, and due to the very high snow level I rode for two days (Jaimie from Ride-the-Alps guided me around the area).

We were back in Samoens mid April this year and skied for two days…tons of snow!

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 22:43:23 +0000

You can't go all that wrong with either camp 4-SGC costs about $500 less a week

SGC is actually about $170 less per week. A week at SGC costs 2124 for the full package and COC costs $2295. The cancellation policy at SGC is not as good as COC though.

Also SGC uses the rental bikes, Konas, from the G1 rental shop and they do get kicked in as the public use the same bikes. COC has a better variety of bikes to choose from, which is a plus if you're not bringing your own bike.

You do get a custom full face helmet for signing up at COC.

Getting sponsorships would be tough. You've lived in Whistler before, right? I think most employers find the population too transient to trust with a sponsorship.

I know nothing about sponsorship though. The Olympics might change things, who knows.

Yea, I lived there for two summers. I live in a great place now, but the one place I would rather be would be up there. I do work for a company with a hotel in Whistler, but right now I am not upper level enough to transfer there. I don't really think anyone would want to put in enough effort to sponsor me, but I thought someone might know of someway to make it work. I can qualify for citizenship through the points systems, but I don't feel like being on a waiting list for years

That's unfortunate. I would make the day trip to Whistler from Coquitlam to ride the airdome now that the bike parks closed.

There's another line around that I think is even more fun than the drop. However, it's the brake bumps that make a-line suck on a hardtail.

Wed, 05 Sep 2007 05:15:05 +0000

I think they're actually faster uphill, and struggle to run downhill. Because of their powerfull hind legs they can haul-ass going up, but the front legs give out when they run downhill, resulting in a furry yardsale.

read up on the subject and you'll find this is an myth.

on foot, you won't be able to outrun a bear uphill, downhill or sideways.

climbing rocks or trees are the only options when on foot for escape.

The one section on Sweet One I wanted to try was too wet for me. We had a blast everywhere else though. Smittys Steeps is fun when you have a bit of grip. Same with Honeydrop. We watched a fellow make us look like girls on the ladder beside the twisted sister. The kid made it look easy.

It was a great day. I was happy to ride Sugar for the first time this year, but man does that trail work you. I hope to get up one more time this year, but I doubt it.

People were lulled in to thinking the trail would be fine as as the first section of woodwork was dry, but it looked like a warzone further down the trail! The were bodies lying all over the place, and when I got to the bottom and waited for mates, I could hear crashing every few seconds. Sort of pretty funny, but I hope there were no proper injuries. One of our guys did break his helmet in there…

My friend's Norco A-line was stolen form his work (Four Seasons) last night (Monday 20th). It had just been warrentied, so is a gloss black '07 frame, with a gunmetal grey 06 seat stay, quite unusual, it also has ex-rental 888 VF2's on it with no adjustment knobs on the top, but the number 11 on both caps. Please contact me at ben133[HTML_REMOVED]at[HTML_REMOVED]btinternet.com if you have any information or have seen the bike around town, thanks.

Mon, 30 Jul 2007 15:31:29 +0000

We have stayed at the Listel once [HTML_REMOVED] the Coast every other time. The Coast gives you a bike check tag. The bikes are locked in a room in the underground parking. I have had no trouble there, not too many bikes piled in. Funny how some peeps think these kind of bikes are worth "a couple hundred bucks", [HTML_REMOVED] we secure them with a "hunk of rope". They are the same peeps who choke when they ask how much your bike is worth [HTML_REMOVED] your reply is in the thousands. They simply don't understand. I am seriously thinking of taking mine to my room from now on, after reading all this.

As the owner of our dealer in Whistler once stated to a customer who inquired whether it was safe to put her bike in her hotel's "secure storage":

"You can't ride a receipt."

Put the bike in your hotel room any way you can: back stairs, fire exit, elevator from the parking garage. If someone from the hotel gets on your case, just ride away and come back later.

Considering the bike was a virgin and the first time I had ridden the course, and I lost my chain on the last straight second run, 21st. But we raced with someone in the next lane, and I have usually raced only as fast as to beat the guy next to me, that was in my head, not getting the fastest combined time…..just wanted to have fun on my new bike….Chad and JS did well, 4th and 2nd respectively….

I always have my hydrapack with a good multi-tool, tube, patches, pump, and zip ties.

If I were to give someone a dh tube, and basically fix their flat. I'd tell them I'd need reimbursment at the bottom of the mountain, or I'd pop there tire off then give them a couple patches.

I got a flat on washington and by the time I had the new tube in 1 guy passed me. So I'd hate to have to wait for ppl to show up and help me.

I don't like riding with a pack, my back gets covered with sweat and the extra weight is annoying. But having to walk 2 km out of the bush, or falling and hitting my back on a hard object I'd really rather have the pack.

At the Exit you go down a ladder and take a left
I usually take the left too fast and land in the buldgeing rocks.

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 10:50:52 +0000

Hello,

Will be spending some time volunteering at Crankworx and then meeting up with some MTBR guys for a gathering of sorts.

Have also joined WORCA and will be doing the Loonie Rides, but it would be great to have someone to ride some XC/AM with.

I wanna do some longer rides, specifically Comfortably Numb but have been told it's not advisable to ride that solo.
Am a pretty decent guy….I'll even leave my axe at home :) so will be cool if anyone wants to show a fellow rider around or if I can hook up with a group?

If not, any info, advice or trail recommendations would be much appreciated!

Thank you

Deon :safrica:

Industrial and Shits are good too.

The climb up is a bit brutal though.

If you are up for more than a day than Pemby is a must.

RE: Cougars
Apparently more than just the one are around. Two more have been spotted in the area since the first one was put down. As well it is best to be bear smart as my g.f. and I have had close contact on 8 of our last 10 rides.

These were rides on valley trails such as Tunnel Vision, Bob's Rebob, River…., and on the way up to Mesquito Lake trails in Pemby(can't remember the trail's name)-------one bear fake charged us and another followed us for a while. no real threat I don't think

It's a heavy bear year, so make noise and stay alert.

Sat, 30 Jun 2007 00:32:51 +0000

Did he just let you put it on at a flagstop? Did you pre-book or anything like that? Call the night before maybe?

Sure did. According to Greyhound website and the drivers I spoke to on the day the Van-Whistler run is the only one where you can put an unboxed bike on a bus.

So yep I just flagged down the bus, threw my bike in and off I went. It happens pretty regularly I reckon, all the drivers were used to it. I did call the night before to check that I could do it but I didn't pre book (although I did pre book my bike on my return trip that evening when I bought my ticket in the morning.)

I reckon Greyhound should be commended for recognising the need for this change to their rules and allowing it for this particular route. Either that or the whistler people came to an agreement, who knows.

The lower section will start in detroit rock than cut off onto a new trail which crosses over alongside joyride joining up to Joy ride after the wooden bridge" and as for garbo "I also know the exact path of Garbanzo DH which will feature three sections of new trail that have already been cut and the course is……. " i guess we'll have to wait till there next update

hmmm, could this new trail on the lower race be an old one that was never used?

I rode for the first week this year by myself. I love it. You get to choose what you want to ride. Don't have to wait for anyone. You can just do a continuous run all day.
You can also get lucky and start talking with someone on the lift. I met a kid on his third day on the mountain and I see him all the time up on the mountain and we just rip it every once in a while. There's always people to ride with and if you're social enough to get in a conversation with them, you can easily find a ton of people to ride with.

well nothing to go left side hopefully, talks of a lift line run and it would be sick but of course itd be riders going to big to try and impress to those on the lift. also another blue run was discussed but i think that'd be a waste of time, having more slow people up there and having them merge into the harder trails and taking more wrong turns

??I got this straight from Whistler's website not so long ago…:

Where is this new trail going to be, you ask? Under the Garbanzo Chair itself, The Lift Line (that is not the official name, but it sounds cool). We are so stoked about this, we can barely sleep. The terrain there has it all: slick rock, spectacular vistas, deep woods and flowy lines. It will be long, but the idea is to make it a blue run so the ripper girls can bring along their new boyfriends fresh from Ontario. But there will be the mean lines and drops for those willing and able (the ripper girls). Yes, it will take some time to complete, but we

you're sharp , parksvilleguy . . . . the vanoc truck didn't get the memo about leaving a-line clear :lol:

because the grade there allows heavy vehicles to stop and start , the sight lines up and down the road are good , we were able to convince the powers that be that that crossing is safer to allow riders to go through , rather than have them crash into each other at a stop ( that most would probably ignore anyway )

however , at all the other crossings we ask that riders slow right down , and confirm the road is clear before proceeding . if there is a vehicle oncoming , either stop to allow him to pass , or confirm through eye contact and hand gestures that you can go .

please do not move the pylons so you can blow through faster .

more dangerous for you = more work for us . . . .

My wife used to work @ a Sheraton here on Kauai, we stayed @ the Westin

my bike taken care of.

They have a locked room they put your bike in, and they lock it to the rack in
back as well. I felt very good about leaving my bike with them. Just don't forget
to tip every once in a while, or at the least when you check out. I gave them
$50.00 when I checked out. A1 service, can't say enough good things about them.

Hey guys…
Last year was my first year at Whistler-loved it. I planned it so that I would only be riding on weekdays… I was in town Mon-Thursday and then left. The trails were pretty quiet, but there were still people there obviously (in Aug).

This year, I'm bringing 5 other guys (sometime in August) and we're going to be riding Thurs, Friday [HTML_REMOVED] Sunday. I'm wondering HOW much busier it is on a Sunday or, even a Friday for that matter vs. the early/mid week stuff.

I'm ok, but these other guys are pretty green and I can see them creeping down some of these trails and holding up traffic on the mountain. I'm just picturing like 10 times the amount of people on the trails making it hard to pull over or having a guy on their ass. They're going to stick to green and blues I'm sure… But a lot of the blues like Crank it Up and Heart of Darkness were even busy on a Wednesday when I was there!

Just trying to get an idea of what to prepare them for.

Thanks for your help.

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 17:25:41 +0000

Hey, i helped organised a trip up to whistler with Red Bull for dirt cheap and there are about 15 spots left on the bus (originally planned just for SFU students). It's $150 bux and you get transportation to and from whis, 2 nights accomodation @ crystal lodge, and access to the Red Bull After parties during Elevation (Nights of June 30th, and July 1st)..

Thought some of you might be interested in this, fire me an email if you want more info:

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 18:53:28 +0000

un like a sketchy slopestyle cource with no flow they need more then two weeks to build it. also if the jumps sit for abour 4 weeks they will pack on their own with the rain, they will just need to be buffed once and a wile. plus, jumps liek that even with 3 bobcats they are still shaping and packing just about every jump by hand.

Yeah, I understand the logic behind it totally- I was more amazed that they're able to occupy that clump of land for so long (the scaffolding has been up for about 6 weeks already). It's great that they have the chance to do things properly, doubly so when you think that most KOD sets are boggy affairs thrown together in a two-day window.

I can't wait! :D

You'll beat it more then it would like to be beaten.

Its like doing 8-10 downhills in one day, where you would normally do one or two on that bike.

I rode my 2001 RM Slayer in the Park but would have preferred not to.

their are woden kickers onto the small and big box know. i dont really like them but then again i only did the box twice so it probably just takes some getting used to!

I hated them at first, but you just need to go slow. Just go no brakes after the berm and pump the roller. Absorb the kicker and pedal twice and aim for the right. Then you have the box just right!

Thu, 10 May 2007 02:22:19 +0000

I used to race XC and DH back in the day and when I first started guiding in the park I was all clipless all the time. I found that jumping and cornering ect is way more difficult as I tend to move my feet around on the pedals depending on the situation I am in. You can't do that with Clipless so I switched to flats. I still think for speed racing DH you need clipless but for style you need to have the option of making little movments of your feet on the pedals. Also it keep you honest when jumping.

Sat, 02 Jun 2007 23:50:21 +0000

geofff even though we know guys are doing it , don't be encouraging a guy , especially a new guy to town , to be doing that .

last thing we want is to have to go searching all the trails for some guy who has messed himself up . puts him , us , and you in a very awkward , if not dangerous , and liable , position .

it is still way early in the season . he will have his pass soon enough , and then he can rip the park for all it is worth , with the backup ( safety ) we all seem to need at some point .

last week we had to respond early AM to a rider who ate shit on a-line after riding up before the park opened .

there is activity in the park outside normal operating hours : trail crew doing major rebuilds , lift , building , and electrical maintenance are moving around , VANOC ( olympic ) construction , and believe it or not , the bears are much more active after we leave the trails .

and that is No joke! ok that was lame..

But yeah, Garbo is my place in the summer. Cooler temperature, no line, I like the trails better. I just do garbo laps all day when the line up fitz is 25 mins for a rip down a- line etc… That aint worth it. You cant go wrong hitting garbo all day when the lines are huge and the weather is HOT. Perfect place to avoid that.
And when the gondy opens, the food at the roundhouse is waaaaaay better than bike and bean food. And you gotta live the high speed road action back down to the trails!

The "no directions to trails" rule was originally started to keep would-be sabatours from finding trails and booby trapping them. I think this whole thing has gone a little too far, I mean, the next time someone asks for the best route to get to Whistler from the Interior, are we really going to flame them and give the same old "find it yourself" routine?

Which is funny, 'cause GORB comes from GORBY, which is the gap of skin between your ski goggles and your toque (or helmet for that matter). Typically used in the skiing world, but I guess at Whis, where lots of people wear goggles riding, some might rock the gap between helmet and goggles.

Thu, 03 May 2007 16:28:18 +0000

I've always wondered why there aren't many big drops on Whistler. It kinda makes me upset to be honest. I pay like 50 dollars to ride that mountain, and all they have are some crappy 10 footers?

If they don't put many big drops on the mountain this year, I won't ride. If you guys would like, I could start a petition to get more big drops on the mountain.

I follow the forecast by weatheroffice on the mountain web site. It says 60[HTML_REMOVED]#37; chance of showers and a low of 4 and a high of 10. sunday is the same, but with a low of zero!
Monday is looking good though. Sunny and a high of 15 and a low of 3. Probably a better day to ride also.

I think I recall riding right up to lift most times on opening weekend last year. The lines weren't big at all, and as Chop says the trails were money!

Yeah early season is never that big with crowds from what I have experienced. Plus I usually only ride weekends unless theres extended play on days I have no homework. So I get the crowded days mostly and it's not that bad.
Im still so stoked on riding.

Thu, 15 Mar 2007 07:00:45 +0000

Wasn't all that snow in the webcam made with snow machines for that ski festival they had the last weekend whistler was open? Because one day there were brown spots and patches of grass, and the next day when I looked at it, there was a huge pile of snow in one place and lots of machinerey and tents set up. the next day all the snow was nicely shaped, so I'm thinking that the snow you see there was made, not natural.

Well it was probably a good mix of natural and man made from some of the runs lower down the mountain and then moved down the mountain to build said booter, its amazing what a bunch of snowcats can do…..then they pushed it all onto the concrete at the base, therefore the boneyard is melting quick…..

And I think theres still a lot of snow left in there. They only open once its close to dry.
Train Wreck should be alright once it drys up again.
I rode cut yer bars a couple of weeks ago, there was a lot of snow at the top, but it should be ok by now.

This:

I think it comes down to how competitive the person is as well. Kyle Strait said that he is too lazy to train.

is a more direct and less politically correct way of saying this:

Good athletes who would at one time go the direction of DH are now being drawn into the pro "freeride" lifestyle…and why wouldn't they?

They, for the most part, aren't getting rich, but they are making a living, and enjoying an envious lifestyle that involves traveling the globe, riding their bikes for the cameras, without all the pressure and risk of having to pin it every time out. They don't have to train at an elite level.

Tue, 17 Oct 2006 10:21:07 +0000

The journalist should do his homework better… the 1998-99 winter was actually a La Nina year with a negative oscilation (colder temps in the ocean). (97-98 was El Nino as stated)
http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ensostuff/ensoyears.shtml

Ya every year I hear that El Nino or La Nina is coming around and its gonna go off. Whatever blew through in 98-99 was huge. I had 12'+ snowbanks out fromt of my house. Also had a quarter pipe in the backyard with a run in from driveway plowings that was a good 15'-20' high.

And I got many days of chest deep powder. Best seaon I've ever had and probably ever will have. Even broke my back that year(crushed vertibrae).

Ahhhh good times. Sometimes I miss Whistler.

Ive always gone the Duffy Lake route…………(that road sucks-bumps,corners etc)……..we are usually around the 5 hour time…so for the extra 30ish to K-Town might be worth it not to have to slow down so many dam times..for those few extra miles!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you on the route : scenery= so collective.

My time was something like 18:42, and I heard there was someone who did 20 ish minutes, so I wasn't last!

I got lost, frustrated, and disappointed. I got the course wrong the first time around. I ended up going down Angry Pirate instead of going over to BLine. Oops. I should have reviewed the course before I rode. So, I fortunately was allowed to restart.

I didn't feel exceptionally fast on the DH sections. And I pushed up the second hill too. It was fun, but I was stressed because of my un-preparedness. In the future I need to give myself more time to get myself together before the race.

Will the results be posted? I can't make it to the awards, because I have to work tonight. Where can I find out how I stacked up?

Sun, 24 Sep 2006 04:18:55 +0000

I think it's funny that people are assuming that dislike for a new section means those people must suck……

Im not saying anything like that. Im saying people dislike the trail because they don't give it a chance to get dialed, expect to clean everything right away, and then make stupid comments. The first time I rode it you could still see the shovel marks, of course its not going to flow right away when its a little muddy and the dirt hasn't even packed. I dont care about anybody else, but I know what I'll be ripping when I come up for my last weekend of the bike park, and loving it.

Whistler Forum • good weekend

Sun, 01 Oct 2006 17:57:41 +0000

I was up Friday and Saturday too. Had a great day, both days. Managed to cross a couple things off the list, dropping the Aline rock and rolling the Detroit Rock City face. They may be routine for most, but a big deal for an old fart like me. I'm pretty happy about it considering I only get up there a couple times a year. Rode Goats Gully to see what all the fuss is about, I still don't know what all the fuss is about. It didn't seem as difficult as the Boogieman rock faces unless I missed something.

GG has never been THAT bad when you look at other trails. Imagine peoples' takes on GG if wild cherry dropped in right next to it :) I do believe GG would earn a blue rating then!

To someone who never rides that type of trail, GG would be worlds beyond their ability, to someone who lives on Eagle, rides Cyps, and is a Whore, well GG just isn't that big of a deal :)

The Detroit face is a good one. Took me a bit to get that damn thing. That silly face on upper joyride (the long one under the gondy) was one of those easy faces that I had issues with for a while. Never understood why, but when I had eventually done it, I got to the bottom laughing. Probably the smoothest face on the entire mountain.

Sun, 10 Sep 2006 18:58:08 +0000

Nope, but I was on a blue 6.6 :)

Dave, you should have screamed at me :)

Sidetrack is definitely a trail you want to keep your flow and speed on. After the fall away and step-up on freight train, you don't wanna stop so you can get some good distance on the first drop on sidetrack.

What a trail! The whole trail has potential for being beyond awesome once some of the berms get bricked in and all the jumps get fully worked in. I still prefer freight train from that part down, but once ST gets some love and whatnot, it will be a tough choice. Right now, i can do without the area it dumps you into (not a fan of that part of duffman/golden triangle) but atleast you can head down to a-line from there which is a nice way to keep the sidetrack groove going.

Friday was an amazing day..Sat was good too but far more busy.

Riding was epic today. Everything is sooooo buff.

Unfortunately upon returning to my car I couldn't find my casual shoes. "Interesting" I thought, "I could have sworn i put on my riding shoes when i got here. I guess I left them at home".

On the way home I discovered that my passport had vanished from my glovebox. The one time I left it unlocked!

Who the hell steals a passport and a pair of shoes?! :flame:

Luckily getting back across the boarder went fine, after a little US history quiz from the customs officer, I was told "Wecome Home" and sent on my way. Felt really good to hear those words.

So now I have to fill out some forms, and wear crappy shoes to my first day of school tomorrow.

In exchange you get to cut lift lines, see some carnage, learn some first aid, pound some rebar, build fences, get LOTS of riding in, and learn how the bike park runs first hand.

Was the very first person to hit the new trail 'sidetrack', which cuts off half way down Frieght Train, tail workers still on it hollering hit it hit it as I railed by!!!! nothing like a good stoke from people while ripping a trail. Absoluetly mint. Keep check on the last step down, it's kinda on a corner and the dirt is fresh and plentiful, so keep it straight. I over jumped it the second time round and damn near landed in the trees. Such a wicked trail!!!! This place just keeps getting better.

Oh and the gap (former gap-i-tron) at the bottom of the bone yard is super super smooth, don't even think about it just send er!!!!!!!!

DAMN WISH I COULD RIDE THAT PLACE EVERY DAY!!!!

Comparing my Test of Metal and Gearjammer times to guys like Neal Kindree I figure that a mountain biker will be close to 2:00. I find the climb quite flowy and rarely grind to a crawl, and the downhill fast (but maybe not as fast as the best trail runners who seem to bound down tech downhills like deer faster than all but World Cup DHers). It might even be faster to do it backwards

The guys that bitch about it have NO IDEA - the place is a mecca. There's a whole big world out there that would kill for what you have on your doorstep. Looking forward to next years trip already :-)

PS - to the tourists… next time, see if you can hook up a some rides in Pemberton and Squamish too… they will blow your mind for steep tech trails… plenty of soul riding out there in the forest…. and ya gotta get a ride in on the shore… everyone needs to visit mecca once in their life :)

Whistler Forum • new lift? any thoughts?

Wed, 30 Aug 2006 03:16:07 +0000

Don't forget for a second that WBP is all about profit. Running a "pro line" chair would do nothing for their bottom line. They aren't running Garbo at anywhere near its capacity and the fact that they rarely allow 3 people to load 1 chair (they only have 1 guy unloading at the top) speaks volumes. There just aren't enough people who would ride that terrain to warrant its existence.

Now, if the "pros" wanting to ride this kind of terrain would be willing to pony up the extra dough for it, I know WBP would jump on the idea. Would you be first in line for the pro ticket? I suspect if it cost extra, the line might be shorter than you think.

I'd pay an extra $10.00 a day to ride it if I could have upper FT and a NJ kind
of trail, maybe more ID type stuff too. Some gaps would be nice. For me,
the reason I ride the upper stuff is variety and it has a different feel up there.

On a side note: WOW was it fun yesterday w/ the rain…just WOW. Next
year won't come soon enough for me.:crybaby:

I rode Hey Bud yesterday, and it's fun! Steep sections, tough log rides, and nice flowey sections too.

The ride up is quite hard though, but you're rewarded by some great loamy trail in the beautiful forest. It's quiet in there, mossy, and there's a river near the bottom that's nice.

The log rides are hard to get on though, and may require a front tire pivot!

i sure hope Whistler has something lined up early next season to replace No joke..

cuz this season was all about takign trails away instead of adding new ones..

not sure at this rate if a seasons passs is warrented.. Garbo is my main reason for riding Whistler these days.

the lower park is just way to small…

might have to consider a Cypress pass and ride local all season with just a few Whistler days thrown in if theres no new trails guanna be carved into the Garbo expansion for early next season…

p.s riding past and seeing the "closed" sign up for Sidetrack since last year isnt helping…8-(

Sat, 01 Jul 2006 02:41:40 +0000

Had a "Holy Shit" moment on the Manager this weekend. I've done that drop about 1/2 a dozen times over the past two years, every time it is a bit scary, but you can trust the great woodwork tranny will collect you, if you go slow.

Well, I went at the rock (on the second hump) at a bad angle, and while I had the front brakes / tire firmly stuck, and inching forward, my back wheel was at a slight angle…enough to start slipping sideways. Well, being that I was at the point of no return, I had to let go and air it out.

Let me tell you, that tranny comes and goes very fast, and I found myself well clear of it, at speed, and heading off the woodwork. I did ride straight off the wood, and into the soft bush. Essentially, turned out to be a nice save…but, wow…I can see why there were so many bad crashes there. If guys were pedaling in with even moderate flow, they'd be in serious shit!

Tue, 15 Aug 2006 08:11:43 +0000

The new course has smaller jumps and smaller lips = not as fun.

I liked having a jump trail that was harder than aline and dirt merchant. I guess it makes sense for whistler to have a trail that more people can ride but it kinda sucks for those of us looking for a more challanging trail than aline.

I find this new bx easyer than it has been in the last 2 1/2 years, A good sultion might be to build some of the jumps with bigger options to keep it challanging for better riders but less skilled riders could still hit it.

Aline is taking quite the beating eh? I can't seem to get enough speed to do that one with the bridge right before it, the lip is getting pretty mangled as well.

The one I saw take a guy yesterday was the first jump on the Aline drop work around, I think he cased it and went over, then hit a rock, he was pretty badly winded and was kinda out of it for a good 5 minutes.

No crashes for me though :)

Good idea, but interviewing only at whistler will only provide you with a polarized view of the mtb/freeride community.

I'd suggest doing your interviews, and then driving to north van and interviewing those that ride Fromme. I suspect you'll find much divergence in your results.

I think they might lock the area at night so it may not be as easy or low key if you want to shower at night. Much better than bathing in a freezing cold lake and getting swimmers itch.

We went to the foam pit on Saturday for the early shift and it seemed like everyone else had the same idea. We had a jam with about 20 people, which is definitely maxing it out. It was still super fun though, it gave you time to think about what you could do and rest up to nail it. The new roll in is done and the ramps up/down are super dope.

By the time we left at 3, there were about 5 people there.

I don't want to be the one who encourages her to try it, only to face the repercussions later :grinno: You guys who ride with your wife can relate to this statement.:agree:

foam pits, or jumps into lakes (Water) are great for learning

with foam, you still gotta be careful and make sure you bail good

we had a bunch of skateparks here in the UK pull their foam pits following a series of neck / head injuries

foam is good, but not a substitute for mis-understanding of rotation or bad technique

supervised foam pits are the best, you can progress more safely and have someone spot what you are doing wrong and give you pointers:)

Damn, I should have waited until Crankworx and not sent my fork away weeks ago. I had to wait until after Crankworx for my fork to return and I probably could have gotten it fixed on the spot up at whistler!

may well have been me there.

was this on the quick part where everybody goes wide into the drainage rut on the right(fixed for the race though)

I saw one guy wave but assumed he was scoping a line. If i slowed down everytime i saw a stopped rider I'd never get down.

I hope the guy was ok.

On such a subject, marshalling out here seems generally bad, in the uk marshalls are issued with flags (yellow for slow, red for stop), radios etc and are generally well brieffed.
Everyone knows what the flags mean and situations like the one your describing are extremely rare.

Tara Teigen was the MC?… that woman's voice is like listening to nails on a chalkboard. Why would they have a former pro snowboarder be MC of a bike contest.

Dude. It was like a nightmare for me. I hate her so much. Up the course, you couldn't really hear what she was saying, you could just hear that she was saying something. Amazingly, what I heard from her she didn't screw up too badly. But there's just something about her voice and mannerisms that makes her sound like she has absolutely no idea what she's talking about. If anybody from the organizers is reading this, please, please, please get rid of her. I can take any other decision that you make. I'll watch homeless men ride through the boneyard on tricycles, just as long as Tara Teigen is not involved.

Fri, 23 Jun 2006 16:42:38 +0000

Breaks suck. Did mine a while back - blew it into 3 pieces. Took a lot longer to heal than I had hoped, but it did heal. Lots of weeks in the figure 8 brace and plenty of rehab. Cracked the bone callous on my first ride back after casing a small warm-up jump (did not realise beforehand how much strength I had actually lost). That put me out of riding and back into rehab for a while longer.

Sorry to hear about the timing. My guess is that you will notice how heavy your camera is, being only 2 weeks out from a break. Good thing there are lots of pubs in Whistler.

True enough, just work at the biggest hotel in BC, been with the company since 97, just pay rent cheaply, live small, no car, 15 min WALK to work, don't pay for cable or heat or electricty, no gas or insurance for a bike, small town living, I been working in the evenings since highschool (ain't much of a morning guy), doing my best to get here, Whistler, I don't party much, work and ski lots lots in the winter, spend most of the coin on the bike and racing, simple but I like it.
BUT….I somewhat envy those with big houses, kids, dogs and all that, but life is long and there is always time for that……
I'm just poking fun anyways….we all ride bikes and seeing all the people on the weekends is fine by me, this place is fun……

Hey you are right …. live your life while you can! Unfortunately I am too old to take the same route, but if I were younger, I would be doing exactly what your doing! You have your whole life to get old …. :-)

Mon, 05 Jun 2006 03:25:35 +0000

Okay, I just did this on the weekend, so I hope I've got it figured out!

1) triple play card costs $99 and includes 3 days.

2) after you use up the 3 days, you can use the tp card to get a daily rate of $33 (regular is $39).

3) if you have a brocard or a 05/06 edge card, you can get the tp card and they put a 4th day on it, no extra charge.

I'm not sure about this, but I THINK you can re-charge the tp card with another 4-for-the-price-of-3 when the first 4 are used up.

Any idea of which trails will be worked on, or is the plan a little bit of everything?

If anyone has a chainsaw, I came across two different big trees across the trail in the Emerald Forest the other day. One was close to the ex-gravel pit, just after a split in the trail and then a small rock face. The other was on the section of trail parallel to the paved valley trail.

I'm under the impression that it will be our general and standard spring trail sweep with lots of small groups headin gout to all the different areas to do a quick sweep, clipping and noting of major issues that need attention…..I'll pass your comments on emerald forest onto boyd….any other comments, or trail issues you come across can be emailed to trails@worca.com

Thu, 23 Mar 2006 23:29:42 +0000

No I have to dissagree with cervo. I have been living in my camper in and around Whistler for over a year now. Last summer was when the muni started putting worning panflets on your motorhome or van or camper. Saying that there would be a fine if you stayed again. Not sure what the regulations are in the winter or next summer. But I wouldn't bet on a free nights stay. If you want I can give you some of my spots I have found to stay just out of town.

Agreed, I had several buddies stay there for a week plus last year…as long as you used the vehicle and kind of drove around once in a while it was pretty easy to stay there

Ironically we did have bbq parties there and sat around and drank beer every night for 10 days (i ran into them on the mountain and ended up showing them around) we didn't have any issues during and after crankworx.

Tue, 28 Mar 2006 23:27:19 +0000

Just got an email from Whistler asking to fill out a survey for Greyhound researching the possibility of regular bike-dedicated service to whistler this summer! Looks like they are looking at building bike carrying trailers for the busses. costs looking like $40-60 return trip.

Could be a pretty sweet set-up, and with the cost of gas ($1.06 down the street here) it would be viable.

My dad took the same survey and the idea is great. My parents dont have that much time to drive me and they wont let me get a ride with my friends(they think the Sea to Sky too dangerous to be with a "New" driver), so maybe the can pay for a bus trip. The bus would be better also with the extra leg room so when you get there, you can bike right away without any leg cramping(unless all you eat are chips and pop on the way up).

I still think you're going to have problems. Although I'm not an expert, I don't think they allow Americans to work in Canada easily (just like I can't go and work in the states very easily). If you were British or Aussie or other Commonwealth country its a different story.

I think it all stems from when we burnt the White House down in 1892…

There are under the table options, but you're probably best not to discuss those on the internet. I think Rosscofat is a cover name for US Immigration and Homeland Security….

My friend paid $280 Can. per month (04 summer) to live in staff housing when he worked at the museum in the summer…that is a double (bunk) occupancy room and a common area…the other room his roomate was in was a single that was closer to $400 Can. per month. As said before sometimes people do not show up and your double room is only occupied by yourself. Also as another person said you can take the Benchlands bus and travel accross the hill to get home or pay 50 cents and take bus up Glacier Drive.

You're saying that there's no connection between Carlin Dunne, Dave Watson and Robbie Bourdon all riding for Kona (a major Whistler sponsor) and somehow landing a spot in the main show. Sure, they're talented riders, but they're pretty lacking in the trick department.

Neah, there is definitely funny about these 3 gettin in;)

BUT for the young guys they would all do better with someone responsible that represents them ie, Gully, killer riders and great manager pushing his skills.

It will be one of the new fancy 2 cable systems that is constantly turning like the other Whistler gondolas, not like the Grouse system.

As of the beginning of the season there was no solid info on the Orange chair but it will probably be removed, the Olympic television crews don't like where it is. It sounds like it won't be replaced with anything, the Garbo is close enough and will be used instead of a new chair.

Mon, 14 Nov 2005 22:33:12 +0000

As a 'worried summer client', thanks for clearing this up.

It's amazing how fast bad rumors can spread and how much cr#p ends up on the web.

After recieving worried emails from summer clients, I checked what is going on. First off I'd like to say these are only ideas/plans, nothing has been set in stone as the budgets are not set yet.

They are planning on doing a refit on the Gondola but it is planned to be done during the spring season, and finished before the summer. And the time line I was told is 2007. They would move spring skiing from Whistler to Bcomb for that season, and that would be the only effect.

There has been a lot of talk about the Olympic construction that will take place and nothing has been decided yet, we are all in a holding pattern at the moment. Which I think is worse, I'd rather know whats going on. Most of the planning has been for a worst possible scenario but again nobody knows what is exactly going to happen, not even the decision makers.

I have some friends in cali. They laugh at how cheap real estate is.

My parents sold our 3 bedroom tract house for nearly one million dollars in California. It's absolutly ridiculous, at least there is world class skiing and biking in Whistler, Santa Barbara just has a bunch of rich assholes. Good weather though.

Fri, 21 Oct 2005 08:07:14 +0000

Back roads had the comtract until 98 but the mountain was pretty much shut down for 98 because of the Roundhouse construction. Intrawest began running the park in 99 and B-line is the trail the started it all. A-line was built to get the racers off of B-line. The above people were very instrumental in the park becoming what it is but don't forget Jason Roe, the first manager.

If you want more history of Bike Park activity in the Whistler valley PM me with your email address and I will pass you on to Tom Radke, he's been quiding on the mountains longer then anyone.

The person who makes the trail maps didn't "get a little too excited and add it in"… I know this for fact becuase I made last years trail map and my girlfriend made this years. Whatever is marked on the maps is done so under the direction of WB… we don't sit there and just add stuff for the hell of it.

Perhaps I was a bit too flippant with that comment, no offence was intended. Just pointing out that people who work in the bike park know that SOH was never intended to be on the map.

Mon, 12 Sep 2005 16:59:22 +0000

gooch is right for the horse riding. I used to go to Pemby every year for thanksgiving and we would go riding then. There are quite a few different companies so call around. Some places go up the mountains wich are a bit more demanding (though not too much) and some just go through the valley on roads and others on the valley on trails by the river. Some make you wear helmets and are really safe and safety concious, others are led by a guy that goes by the name wild bill (if memory works properly). anyways you get the idea

for free pass:
option 1: work for the mountain, that could entail anything from retail to dishwashing to instructing, but do you really want to work for the mountain?
Option 2: get a job at the Fairmont, they bought my pass for the first time in 8 years last year so I can't see them not doing it again, but you must have worked here for longer then six months, otherwise its like $400 or something.
Option 3: Volunteer at the mountain, ya know the dudes and dudettes in the yellow jackets at the end of the day that wave everyone down for speeding, ya'll also do other maintenance on hill the one day a week you get to do speed control.
Other then those I can't think of too much as far as free passes go, have fun though while your here, keep an eye out for the Dincus jersey and khaki Troy lee lid….

He has also recently changed his camera to a better quality/capture than the old viosport ones. I got a little demo and was really impressed.

I was just going to say that. they are really fun also, and dave is a great guy. go check it out, he will set it up so you and a friend can rotate who is wearing it to capture the other rider.

it is in the basement of the summit bike shop right at the base of the gondola. he is tucked behind in a far back corner.

Yes it is not that easy. I rolled in fairly slow and still felt a pretty good "kick". It is a great feature though and should stay as is even if you ride it only once every 10 runs (I found it to almsot always be closed anyways these last 2 weeks).

I agree with the first poster though. the ditch is a little sketchy on freight train. I never fell into it but came pretty close many times (mostly because I was discovering the trail)…

Anyway you locals are lucky.. I left only 3 days ago and I already miss it!

Tue, 30 Aug 2005 06:55:19 +0000

I always hit the middle set of the jumps…I think they are the biggest and they set you up for the walls the best!

Part 2 of that trail should be pretty cool! I hate that little, I mean little, up hill section after the funbox!

Typical downhill'r hey!!!

i like the far left jumps…coming outta the last hit from the trees sets you up nicely for the first wall…

as far as the uphill section..i agree..it SUCKS…buuut my guess is when part2 is done, that uphill will be the way outta the trail to fantastic, or itll berm to the right into the woods for part2. it makes sense to me that they would do it this way…

Tue, 30 Aug 2005 05:27:49 +0000

Most of the guide bikes are purchased by the guides at the beggining of the season so they can sell them for what they want. Most guides will not be selling their bikes until they know if they can purchase another next season, not everyone gets the option of buying a new bike each year.

Some of the rigs are on loan to the staff members, ie. Managers and will be sold at the end of the season so figure out what size you want and start talking to the staff.

Also the guide Frieght Trains are not the same as the rental ones, the guide bikes are Stab Supreme's.

Sun, 14 Aug 2005 16:43:28 +0000

I don't think it's a good idea to go with a group of people who you don't know. Rainbow is serious. I don't think I go through a single epic ride any more without having to pick up garbage, perform first aid, or out and out rescue people. I don't judge heli-droppers harshly, like some do, but I will say that those are usually the least prepared people and because they didn't work so hard to get there they tend to treat things a bit casually in terms of garbage, lines chosen and equipment carried. Remember that up there, a flat tire or broken chain can easily lead to sleeping under the stars in your riding gear. If you know what you're doing and you KNOW that everyone else in your party is as solid as you, then it's all good. Otherwise, I don't think so. So, all that said, please be careful and enjoy riding. Interestingly enough, I still don't really see that many people in these places. Rainbow and Tenquille are quite busy now, but there's lot's more out there.

Did a lil one hander off that kicker, I usually do a whipper or a table, but this time I thought it would be good to try something new. Din't get the hand back on quick enough, rode right into the side of the hill, abs went right into my stem. Felt like I bruised all my internals, but luckily all the pain went away after la few mins.

Tue, 09 Aug 2005 05:40:18 +0000

Thats an awesome description Noel.

Might help to tell us what kind of helmet so we can look out for it.

Well, I wasn't sure if I should put the full description in the message, figuring if someone actually found it they'd know that they had found a helment. Anyway, it's a Giro Carbon, grey and black, size medium.

Thanks!

Just to add to this, I somehow managed to lose my full face Sunday afternoon. It was either lost at the Long horn (big surprise…) or in the gravel day lots. I think that I may have left it on my car and driven off, but I went back to check and didn't see it. The Long horn didn't have it either.

So, if you happened to find a full face helment please let me know. It's fairly new and in decent shape.

Can anyone recommend a good company to get lessons or coaching from up at Whistler for my girlfriend? We're heading up this week and she really wants to have some coaching to boost her confidence. She rides the shore a bit and is a better rider than she thinks she is but she needs some coaching on cornering, skinnies, maybe small drops, etc.

I'm going to have a look at some websites but does anyone have any positive experiences with any companies up there?

If you fly, hit up your bike shop for one of the boxes their new bikes ship to them in. This will be good to ship your bike in on the plane ride. They are totally re-usable many times over if you look after them.

The drive will be cool, but if you are concerned about dollars, you also need to factor in wear and tear, the possibility of failure/repair, and speeding tickets.

That said, I would probably do the road trip for the unknown element.

Just a follow-up - I ended up booking the "Peak Adventure" full-day guide. According to the bike school folks, the "Skills camp" and "Peak Adventure" are both basically the same thing when you book a full day.

I ended up getting shown around most of the blue and some of the easier black runs. Crank It Up is sooooo much fun, I wish it were a lot longer!

We ended up going up the Peak chair right to the summit (only available if you have a guide) and taking Highway 86 down to Garbonzo. Pretty sweet.

Got a few pointers on riding skinnies and taking some bigger drops, so it was a good day overall.

But after two days of riding 7+ hours, my wrists are killing me!

Whistler Forum • frieght train as of now ...good/bad

Sun, 31 Jul 2005 05:19:46 +0000

i thought you were being sarcastic… but this is stupid, i know i'm not tripping you get on freight train for a while, then it stopped at the double track [road] , where it is roped off (at least it was when I was there) the options were to take the left which was the newer part of freight train (jump line) which was not open, the middle where there was a flat pedal in to a step down and then in to a step up (you can't see the step up lip until you go off the step down), after that you make a right hand turn do another little step down and then you're on the double track again the other option was just stay on the double track and skip the jumps which you take down to the acute angled left hand turn which is also known as no joke which is an open singletrack [a la road] section that is really frickin fast but super damn choppy but has nothing technical on it this is the part that would not be fun on a hardtail or any bike for that matter.

Next time you're up there ask for the step down in to step up off of freight train and i'm [not] talking about the one on D1 it is definitely off of freight train, and it was sweet cause you can go as big as you want.

did that make sense?

by the way how is that picture of the single track not a road? it is an open pathway for a vehicle, not all roads are meant for two wheeled vehicles.

Ok, I know what you are talking about. At the end of UPPER freight train there is a table to a steep long landing (not a step down) to a step up. After that you get on the truck road and just go around that first corner. This is where I think you missed the continuation of No Joke. Then you make a left going down a hill which brings you back into No Joke (there is a bridge and creek jump as you enter No Joke). From there, you ride a long section of No Joke through the trees with a couple brief road sections in between. Then No Joke becomes Duffman as it enters the trees for the last time (there is a jump right before the trees). As you come out of the trees, you go over a couple rollers until you get to the Sidetrack intersection… go straight… go past No Duff… and then immediately make a hard right to ride LOWER Freight train.

I think you saw the sign for No Joke on the double track and thought that was the trail. The trail goes down a narrow stretch as you make a left off of the doubletrack (also known as a road). I bike there everyday, so I know what I am talking about. I can see how it might be confusing.

In biking a road (or double track) is usually thought of as something you could drive a truck up. If you can only ride or drive bikes up a trail it is called singletrack. No Joke is obviously singletrack.

I've entered for some reason and am well nervous about this race, even though it's not that hard a course! I have a feeling the red mist will descend and I'll crash hard. More positive thoughts required.

I'm aiming for a 4min 10 sec time. :)

(Seriously, less than 5 mins I'll be laughing).

don't be nervous. it's actually the only time of the year that you'll have the chance to rip the trail the way you always wanted to. Reason..? no one else on the trail. you don't have to worry about passing anyone or coming up on anyone who's wiped out. It is a cool sensation chasing the whistle down the course. just giver the way you would on your best day and enjoy the hell out of it. I ran it in 2002 and had a blast. I tried my hardest but still took the time to feel the love, while other friends of mine took the opportunity to style out evey jump and just have a big ol fun time. Focus hard on what you're doing and all will go well. See you up there i'm racing in the Masters class. Beware the fat old guy that's out to kick ass.

The lock ups with surveillance cameras? Insist on seeing the camera working, and double check the feed is getting recorded.

The place I'm staying at is very secure, in a locked underground parking lot. You need a pass card to get into the parking lot, a pass card to get into the lock up (which has the camera out of reach). The lock up has metal everywhere, so you lock the bike up thoroughly. No problems at all. The lock up is chain metal and is covered with brushed plastic so you can't see in as well.

Thu, 21 Jul 2005 23:04:40 +0000

Move in NOW if you want to find housing. People sleep in the bushes once winter comes, because they didn't know housing would be so hard to find, and have nowhere else to go.

I also know people who lived in tents all winter too.

Whistler Forum • Big box

Fri, 22 Jul 2005 05:36:15 +0000

it's not too much harder, you just gotta pedal into really fast and keep your bike level after you leave the lip, casing isn't bad at all, first time trying i just went for it and my whole back tire landed on the slanted wooden part, ask someone if you can fallow them. or just think of using about the same amount of speed to try and clear the small box to the landing of the drop

That is what u do if u want to kill yourself :P. IMO and many other ppl I talk to, the big box is not all that much harder than the small box. you definitly dont need as much speed as if you were trying to clear the small box and I find that i dont even need to pedal. You shoudn't be to worried about casing because you can just roll up it if need be. I like to just let off the brakes and giv'er. 8)

While I was waiting in Lions Gate Hospital for my wife to get patched up, (her road bike was taken out by by a runaway longboard in a freak accident) I was talking to this dude who crashed pretty bad on Freight Train yesterday. He remembers having fun, then nothing until being in Lions Gate.

He had a pretty bad concussion, and they had him in a neck collar and were just taking him in for X-rays. Hopefully he's back riding real soon now.

My wife was also in a neck collar, but got released with ojnly road rash and a really bruised knee. Get well soon to both. Be careful out there, people.

No Joke is getting a hell of a lot better. There is still the rutted mud at the beginning, the puddles after the small jump on the right and the mud at the end, but a lot of the roots have really dried out. Still not completely dry, but in a few days it will be really nice. I don't know what kind of shape OS, In Deep and Fatcrobat are in. I would guess In Deep has some pretty huge mud ruts still.

With the upcoming weather, I wonder how much work they will be getting done on Freight Train… I would love to see them open the middle section in the next week or two, but I have no clue how close they are. Maybe I'll walk down it in the next day or two.

The only thing you could get over your head on is Goat's Gully or Captain Safety (which has an off camber rockface with roots on top of it that is pretty much impossible to ride in the rain).

:agree: found out the hard way about captin safety last year. Not quite in the rain but a day after a rain and that rock face was SLICK. Almost made it all the way but it gets tougher towards the end because you pick up so much speed.

Sat, 02 Jul 2005 15:19:20 +0000

If its a wet, rainy day, or was a wet rainy night, and the top looks socked in with fog, I guess the same question can be asked as to why you are going up to ride it?

If your issue is trail errosion, then you can do the trails a favour by not riding them in the slop.

If your issue is fog and bad weather, why are you riding up the lift in the first place when you know the weather is junk?

It's completely up to you if you ride it or not in less than good conditions. You have valid concerns, but not riding it would make a lot more sense to back up your concerns than going for it and then being upset at how poor conditions were.

You're right…lesson learned on that one. That was only the second time I've been up Garbonzo, and I'll know what to expect next time. The bottom half of the mountain was in pretty good shape, I had no idea there would be that much of a change.

You need to give them a note from your doctor saying the date [HTML_REMOVED] nature of your injury plus how long you'll be out for. They review it [HTML_REMOVED] give you credit that's valid for 2 years based on how much your pass was [HTML_REMOVED] how much you used it. Do it fast, cuz they want it within 2 weeks of your injury.

Whistler Forum • Bike Thieves Targeting Whis. WATCH YOUR BIKE

Sun, 26 Jun 2005 02:30:17 +0000

In "Virtual Light" William Gibson describes a fictional security system used by messengers in future San Francisco: when you ride the bike picks up and stores static electricity. When you park it and want to remount you reach under the seat and key the security system with your fingers. If it doesn't recognize the person grabbing the bike, POW! It dumps all the static charge into them!

when i read the book, I interpreted it as something like a capacitor that shocks the person, much the same idea as a regular police stun gun… (9V battery charges capacitor to very high voltage, very low amperage).

Whistler Forum • A line help?

Wed, 29 Jun 2005 02:36:54 +0000

Stand up, with your body sort of slightly hunched over the fronet wheel. It helps to put your elbows out, as this will bring your shoulders forward.

You also want to be able to use your legs as well as your arms (lots of people miss this relatively simple point).

Don't worry about getting speed too much, You should NOT pedal at the jumps. Just let the speed come. The big trick is to not touch the brakes.

If you are nice and forward, and off the brakes, then youshould be getting a nice amount of air and be feeling in control.

If you feel like the front of the bike is dropping away, and you're landing nose heavy with your arms extended, then you are probably leaning back (shying away) at the lip of the jump. Maybe spend a few minutes at the jumps in the drop zone getting on top of the bike in the air.

Other tricks to help: follow someone who knows how to hit jumps slow. It's amazing how slow some people can ride tables and still make tranny.

Follow little punks around. They're usually pretty helpful and have some cool insights. Plus, they probably just learned how to do it too, and have similar experiences to share. I know that ging to the Myrtle DJ's with the local groms was the best thing I ever did for getting up on the air.

Do cheap tricks. A little twist of the front wheel or some english on the bike will make you take ownership of the flight and you won't feel like such a dead sailor.

Buy a lesson if all else fails. I'd help you out, but I'm booked solid this summer. Maybe try the kids at Endless Biking (Darren, Kelly, and Kenny) if you are thinking of going that route.

thanks smoke, really helpful stuff. :)

I like to think of it this way, you never really know when a mechanical failure could happen. Imagine bombing into the Joyride slick rock and something snaps and suddenly your 20 feet looking down and the road hoping you don't ruin yourself too bad when the reentry occurs, were you taking it easy that day, no uppers on, or were you possibly training, and wearing the top that day, trying to get faster, I would hope you were wearing them the whole time cause you never really know now do ya….?

that was a super fun day, i got my ass kicked a few times. good conditions on the hill and the weather held out. solid day.

its funny how people will walk up the middle of D1 with their bikes, knowing well off that theres more riders approaching and still not move which in turn makes people (me) crash into the trees. i totally spazzed at him, and i think he got the point, but for what its worth, should i even bother trying to avoid tards like this or just run them over and keep going? its a fair logic … stand in the middle of a trail around a blind corner after a jump … screw safety just hit them. tough love? my minds made up.

fun tight little trail! some neat gaps / step-ups in there. loiterers could be a problem - not much room to get out of the way. i got pretty cozy with a guy who was walking up one of the step-ups. at least the signage [HTML_REMOVED] entry seemed to deter some of the volume.

Put ads up in staff housing, at the shoestring, hostels, bike shops, and other random places along those lines. Oh, and whistlerclassifieds.com or whatever it's called.

Do you mean Upper S[HTML_REMOVED]M or Lower S[HTML_REMOVED]M? I would say that Upper S[HTML_REMOVED]M is easier in general. In some ways, Lower S[HTML_REMOVED]M is potentially the most difficult blue trail in the bike park, only because the P.O.S. is so badly built. I doubt there are many intermediate level riders who could even come close to cleaning it.

Coop: they wish!

You may be more of a conspiracy theorist than I, but I've heard and believe that the bike park is just now, maybe, in the black. Costs alot of money to operate a lift, build/maintain trails, run a patrol etc… When you compare bikers numbers per lift to skiers numbers per lift, the profit margin gets thin.

The park has probably been in the black for a number of years, but there is a very significant difference between how much $ is made from the bike park and from skiing. Let's just call it different shades of black.

Garbonzo on Saturday (June 11) was awesome…………………however it should not have been opened on this very, very rainy day.

No joke was 'okay' for mud and the trail took a bit of a beating, but Original Sin got absolutely SHIT KICKED!!! The first run down you could see new dirt work at the top of the trails, but during my last run at about 3:45 the trails were obliterated…………….COMPLETELY OBLITERATED!!. Sure it is fun riding in the mud…..thick goowy Whistler clay like cake mud, but the trails are a really bad shape now.

This early season opening is like taking 5 steps backwards in getting the trails in good running shape for the summer masses.

Good times were had but I personally feel that we should not have been riding on that day on those trails.

holy moly what a day that was … got like 5 laps of garbo in. mucky much? origional sin was super fun, in deep was killer, fatcroboat was good and grippy except for my lack of balance. no joke was super wet, no duff was goods, too tight was in really good shape, fast and flowy, little alder was prime. im so tired and stoked, that was awesome. sidetracked looks to be quite the trail, pussed out on riding D1. i like the big jumps up there. freight train was a little wet, fun jumps though.

10 out of 10.

Yup. It also depends on who has the longer stamina. My legs tired out long before the horse did, all that damn squeezing. Tammy on the other hand appears to have amazing stamina and can ride horses until they can't take anymore.

cough cough no innuendos intended… ;)

On topic! I haven't hit crabapple hits in a long time, I've been wigged out ever since that dude passed away on it.

Im probably one of the patient ones. If I come up on a slower rider, I stay back a good 15-20 feet and I wait for them to pull over. I dont rush them or cause them to do anything dangerous or out of their skill level. Im just a nice guy:)

Whistler Forum • Crabapple Hits

Fri, 27 May 2005 00:04:51 +0000

First off, I love this trail, one of the old school originals that still rocks. Props to DK, Marty, BT, and the rest of the trail crew for all of there awesome work on that trail and everywhere else in the park. The trail crew work like dogs day in and day out, sweating and labouring for our enjoyment! Keep it up boys and girls!

I don't want to start an e-battle here, but let me say this: I work for the Bike Patrol, and I was working for the Bike Patrol when this unfortunate accident happened. I wasn't on scene for the accident, but my co-workers were, and I'm guessing that the guys who did the first aid know what really happened.

uh yes it did. i was in the parking lot and the guy that shot the vid was showing other people. i couldn't watch it though.

I don't know where this nasty rumour came from, but IT IS NOT TRUE. The guy was found on the trail by the next people down the trail. If what you say is true then, how come they didn't stay and help? Are you telling me that these guys are riding on a green run, happen to point their camera at a big jump, film a guy absolutely eating S**T, and ride away without helping? Sounds inprobable at best.

was told about the run over part by one of the whistler blackcomb bike guides.

Absolute fiction. DID NOT HAPPEN. Again, it was unwitnessed. If someone ran over this guy, why did he leave the scene? Where was he when patrol showed up?

Short version: Guy hits big table. Guy wipes out hard. No one saw it. Patrol attended scene, BC ambulance service attended scene. He was taken to the Whistler Medical Clinic. He recieved the quickest and best first aid and medical attention possible. He didn't make it. End of sad story.

Rumours run rampant in the bike park. (see Freight train) Rumours run rampant in Whistler (I heard U2 was going to play the ski and snowboard festival, the mountain was going to close in February this year, and that Disney is going to buy the whole mountain). Rumours run rampant on the internet (self evident). Put these three together and this is what happens. Rumours about trail or lift openings are one thing. Arguments about who is the best rider, what is the best trail, or what is the size of drop X are another thing. Rumours about a REAL PERSON WHO ACTUALLY DIED are quite a different story. I love to read 10 pages about A-line or some other e-horse getting beaten to death, but I think this particularly morbid thread has gone far enough.

Don't believe me? Feel free to PM me, talk to me on the lift, or e mail me, but I think this should end here.

Are you kidding? A-Line is the moutain biker's super highway. If the only thing you ride is A-Line, you will be on your ass after the first set of roots on CBC.

A-Line is a great run; super popular, and innovative…but not for everyone. I'll take Clown Shoes over A-Line every time.

That said, I'm excited to see what Freight Train has in store…

Looks reasonably obvious from the maps… but is it very different on the ground? i.e. the access tracks marked on there - are they well used mountain dirt tracks or very overgrown/hard to follow?

I'm used to our UK maps which are 99% reliable if you've got your head screwed on and a compass!

If anyone wants to PM me any more details that'd help me out I'd be very grateful, or even better - offer to guide me and a couple of UK buddies on either Sat or Sun 25th/26th June (depends on the weather mostly) - that'd be supercool!

Sat, 21 May 2005 07:01:03 +0000

i agree with the first part but I think if you're going less than 4 or 5 times, its cheaper to just buy day tix

Unfortunately…no.

Why is everyone here so confused about the edge card? Granted, it's new this year for biking, but it shouldn't be this hard to understand. If you're going to be riding more than once this season, than you shouldn't be buying day tickets each time. You should be buying either a season pass or an edge card. End of story.

I am LOL. There's a whole world out there. There's even other trails in Whistler!. Up until last year I could even finesse some of those trails on my Ritchie ie no suspension ( I'm getting a little long in the tooth, time for springs). And now you even have to practically chain yourself to your steed so it doesn't get swiped!! Dude, Whistler is just an infintesimal part of B.C., sounds like you might want to explore the rest of it, unless of course you like paying through the nose for EVERYTHING. On the bright side, there are numerous members of the opposite sex, all fairly bright and shiny, so if you were making wedding plans, er should I say plans to move over here permanently, well then, have at 'er but do start job-hunting.

Whistler Forum • Getting to whistler without a car?

Mon, 16 May 2005 23:27:35 +0000

18 one way, plus 10, so over 40$ RIP OFF. if you bum a ride itll be cheaper, and u get too chill and listen to tunes with a fellow rider. Only thing is it isnt quite as reliable.

and the greyhound wont jam on you at the last minute. if your a totally care free person who takes everything easy, then bumming a ride is the option. if its a life or death thing to you if you get up there, then take the hound, takes out the stress factor.

If you are in love with your HT and you dont mind sore hands, just GIVER.

Good work on getting that issue fixed so quick Whistler! It's really impressive how quickly you react to an objectively dangerous situation. I am really impressed at Whistler's ability to provide this much difficulty and challenge and yet keep it "safe".

Good luck in the recover Jon and keep in touch when you're back up and at 'em…

Mon, 09 May 2005 04:14:17 +0000

we might just see those gates go up Stacey, JS says it will go in soon, they mnight also make a manual one to practice next to the course, like gate, roller roller berm, just for gate starts, having another series along side the WORCA twoonie might be hard though…talk to Eric or Seb.

yeah, we're working with seb on the dh series, bikercross is unlikely though, we (WORCA) have our hands pretty full already this year with various events,
and W/B really can't run events without insurance…they looked into running the dh series without WORCA's club insurance and it just costs too much….that being said, I too wish they'd have a few more bx events, I'd love to get better at riding that course shoulder to shoulder with 3 other people!

My dad owns a pharmacy and we get airmiles and aeroplan miles every time we buy drugs and drugs are expensive which is why we have so much. In fact my dad just got some tickets for me and my brother to come out to BC this summer off of aeroplan. Can't wait.

everyone ranting about the slower riders on a line is funny. Everyone acts like they are the fastest thing to ever grace the trail, but no matter who you are, someone is gonna think your slow. I remember crusin along a line a few years ago, and that's how i got my start. Shure it can kinda be a bummer, but all ya gotta do is pass, and continue on your way. There are never gonna be rules about who can ride the trails, so just chill.

Sat, 07 May 2005 08:05:02 +0000

Whistler is surrounded by forest, lots of places to spend the night if you don't mind being away from civilization for the night. If you've got a truck you're laughing, just pick a logging road and head on up; you'll come across an opening somewhere and be able to set-up camp, just be careful on the active roads. I've spent a few nights after spring riding in a tent and once went to the pool to take a shower after the day…. get some laps in as well!!!

Another option is a hostel, I think the UBC lodge is only 18 bones a night for non-students so you could hit that up and get a hottub, warm bed, and place to cook. That's my plan when I head up in a couple weeks.

Fatcrobat is my favorite ladder/log style trail @ Whistler… Its up Garbo, right after the 3 humps on Goats, just opened up the last month of last season… its a SWEET line :D Crack addict has some good lines too, and don't miss lower joyride… most people don't seem to make it down that way.

I agree on all three points…

I always get wigged out on Lower Joyride where that's that really steap, smooth/slippery kinked woodwork. I've ridden it, but not every time. Ack! So scary!
